Nitrogen fixation for all plants?

Hello friends! Just came across a very groundbreaking piece of university backed information from a link through a reputable source (Cryptogon . com) about N fixation bacteria derived from sugar cane. From the article:


"N-Fix is neither genetic modification nor bio-engineering. It is a naturally occurring nitrogen fixing bacteria which takes up and uses nitrogen from the air. Applied to the cells of plants (intra-cellular) via the seed, it provides every cell in the plant with the ability to fix nitrogen. Plant seeds are coated with these bacteria in order to create a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship and naturally produce nitrogen."

University of Nottingham is the where the research has been taking place and I find this super ineresting and hope other people do too. Anyway here is the link: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/news/pr...les-crops-to-take-nitrogen-from-the-air-.aspx
