Nature’s high biomass productivity is based on biological N2 fixation (BNF) and biodiversity (Benckiser, 1997; Benckiser and Schnell, 2007). Although N2 makes up almost 80% of the atmosphere’s volume living organisms need it in only small quantities, presumably due to the paucity of natural ways of transforming this recalcitrant dinitrogen into reactive compounds. N shortage is commonly the most important limiting factor in crop production. The synthesis of ammonium from nitrogen and hydrogen, the Haber–Bosch (H-B) process, invented more than 100 years ago, became the holy grail of synthetic inorganic chemistry and removed the most ubiquitous limit on crop yields. H-B opened the way fo...
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
This book presents an overview of the role of meristematic tissues in plant growth and development, with an emphasis on advances of the last decade. It examines meristematic tissues as a defined, independent tissue type in plants and gives consideration to their origin, maintenance, and function. The editors pay particular attention to the molecular mechanisms underlying meristem formation and maintenance. This volume is a tremendously valuable resource for plant geneticists, developmental biologists, and molecular biologists.
This eBook comprises Volume I, Volume II and Volume III of the Research Topic Plant-Pest Interactions. Topic Editors Colette Broekgaarden and Martin De Vos are employed by KeyGene N.V.. All other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regards to the Research Topic subject.
