Assessing opportunities for nitrogen fixation in rice: Development of novel endophytic and symbiotic associations

Copy Link
Coordinating organisation: International Rice Research Institute
Description: Major Research Domain:
Nitrogen fixation, endophytic associations, rhizobia

Goal:
Assessing opportunities for nitrogen fixation in rice through development of endophytic and symbiotic associations

Outputs:
- To identify, modify and improve existing or novel associations between rice and nitrogen-fixing endophytes
- To determine metabolic potential and genetic predisposition of rice to form and sustain specialised nodule-like structures in
order to house rhizobia and fix its own N
