About the Book

Recent advances in understanding symbiotic Rhizobium-legume interactions at the molecular level, the discovery of endophytic interactions of nitrogen-fixing organisms with non-legumes and the ability to introduce new genes into rice through transformation have created an opportunity to investigate the possibilities for incorporating N2 fixation capability in rice. During a think-tank workshop organized by IRRI in 1992, the participants reaffirmed that such opportunities do exist for cereals and recommended that rice be used as a model system. Subsequently, IRRI developed a "New Frontier Project" to co-ordinate the worldwide collaborative efforts among research centres committed to reducing dependency of rice on mineral N resources. An international Rice Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) working group was established to review, share research results/materials, and to catalyze research.

Table of Contents:
1. Introduction: Assessing opportunities for nitrogen fixation in rice - a frontier project.- 2. Fertilizers and biological nitrogen fixation as sources of plant nutrients: Perspectives for future agriculture.- 3. Isolation of endophytic diazotrophic bacteria from wetland rice.- 4. Isolation of endophytic bacteria from rice and assessment of their potential for supplying rice with biologically fixed nitrogen.- 5. Association of nitrogen-fixing, plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with kallar grass and rice.- 6. Occurrence, physiological and molecular analysis of endophytic diazotrophic bacteria in grami neous energy plants.- 7. Azoarcus spp. and their interactions with grass roots.- 8. Biological nitrogen fixation in non-leguminous field crops: Facilitating the evolution of an effective association between Azospirillum and wheat.- 9. Rhizobial communication with rice roots: Induction of phenotypic changes, mode of invasion and extent of colonization.- 10. Natural endophytic association between Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii and rice roots and assessment of its potential to promote rice growth.- 11. Interactions of rhizobia with rice and wheat.- 12. Interactions between bacterial diazotrophs and non-legume dicots: Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant.- 13. Root morphogenesis in legumes and cereals and the effect of bacterial inoculation on root development.- 14. Strategies for increased ammonium production in free-living or plant associated nitrogen fixing bacteria.- 15. Genetics of Azospirillum brasilense with respect to ammonium transport, sugar uptake, and chemotaxis.- 16. Chitin recognition in rice and legumes.- 17. The role of phytohormones in plant-microbe symbioses.- 18. The impact of molecular systematics on hypotheses for the evolution of root nodule symbioses and implications for expanding symbioses to new host plant genera.- 19. Nif gene transfer and expression in chloroplasts: Prospects and problems.- 20. Enhancing biological nitrogen fixation: An appraisal of current and alternative technologies for N input into plants.
