A new role for nitrate reductase in regulating nitrogen-responsive nodulation

Certain plants, including legumes, form specialized organs called root nodules, where they establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This root nodule symbiosis enables plants to use atmospheric nitrogen for growth, reducing their dependence on nitrogen fertilizers. Applying this characteristic is highly promising for developing sustainable agricultural systems.
