Kinetic model of a determinate legume root nodule reveals plant metabolic characteristics for more efficient nitrogen fixation symbiosis

Rourou Ji, Joshua A. M. Kaste, Megan L. Matthews

The paper develops a kinetic model of legume root nodule metabolism to identify metabolic targets for improving nitrogen fixation efficiency and rate.

Metabolic modeling predicts synergistic growth benefits between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and theoretical N2-fixing rhizobia symbiosis in maize

Joshua A. M. Kaste, Rourou Ji, Patrick William Sydow, Ruairidh J. H. Sawers, Megan L. Matthews

The paper uses metabolic modeling to predict growth benefits of combining arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and hypothetical N2-fixing rhizobia in maize, finding synergies under nutrient limitation and antagonism under nutrient sufficiency.
