Two symbiotic processes, nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhiza, are primarily controlled by the plant’s need for nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P), respectively. Autoregulation of (AON) autoregulation mycorrhizal symbiosis (AOM) both negatively regulate their respective processes share multiple components—plants that make too many nodules usually have higher mycorrhiza (AM) fungal root colonization. The protein TML (TOO MUCH LOVE) was shown to function in roots maintain susceptibly rhizobial...
Summary Two symbiotic processes, nodulation and arbuscular mycorrhiza, are primarily controlled by the plant’s need for nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P), respectively. Autoregulation of Nodulation (AON) Mycorrhization (AOM) both negatively regulate their respective processes share multiple components - plants that make too many nodules usually have higher AM fungal root colonization. The protein TML (TOO MUCH LOVE) was shown to function in roots maintain susceptibly rhizobial infection under low...
Genetic parts and hosts can be sourced from nature to realize new functions for synthetic biology or improve performance in a particular application environment. Here, we proceed the discovery characterization of stable expression with focus on achieving sustained chitinase activity. Chitinase is key enzyme various industrial applications that require breakdown chitin, second most abundant biopolymer earth. Diverse microbes exhibit activity, but applications, environmental conditions optimal...
