Abstract:
Enhancing biological nitrogen (N) fixation in cereal crops has been a long-sought objective. Recently, Yan et al. identified plant compounds that induce biofilm production of diazotrophic bacteria and then performed genetic engineering in order to improve nitrogen fixation in rice plants. These findings hold promise for sustainable agriculture.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
