Ground-breaking development potentially provides every cell in the plant with the ability to fix atmospheric Nitrogen

World changing technology enables crops to take nitrogen from the air
Is this the first step to second green revolution.

Professor Edward Cocking, Director of The University of Nottingham's Centre for Crop Nitrogen Fixation, has developed a unique method of putting nitrogen-fixing bacteria into the cells of plant roots. His major breakthrough came when he found a specific strain of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in sugar-cane which he discovered could intracellularly colonise all major crop plants. This ground-breaking development potentially provides every cell in the plant with the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. The implications for agriculture are enormous as this new technology can provide much of the plant's nitrogen needs.

More pollution less global warming: US and China are less affected by Global Warming?

Recent study of Harvard University researchers come up with an amazing results. Their findings emphasized that the tiny particles above the US air can have a reversing effect on global warming.

According to their findings those countries who contribute more on air pollution and rich in tiny particles in their atmosphere have less impact on global warming in regional scale.

This finding indirectly says that any policy towards the improving air quality could lead to global warming issue more intensively although it increases the problems of human health and acid rain related issues according to the article.
