Azoarcus olearius BH72 is a diazotrophic model endophyte that contributes fixed nitrogen to its host plant, Kallar grass, and expresses nitrogenase genes endophytically. Despite extensive studies on biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of diazotrophic endophytes, little is known about global genetic players involved in survival under respective physiological conditions. Here, we report a global genomic screen for putatively essential genes of employing Tn transposon mutagenesis with a modified transposon combined with high-throughput sequencing (Tn-Seq).

- Seed size is really important for how much food crops can produce, so scientists are studying it to help grow better plants.
- A protein called EIN3 has two different effects on seed growth that are surprising because they do the opposite things.
- EIN3 helps seeds grow in one way after fertilization, but also slows down growth in another way related to a chemical called ethylene.
