Two pivotal goals of agronomic research are to extend the benefits of symbiotic nitrogen fixation resulting from legume interactions with rhizobia, and to improve root architecture so that plants more effectively acquire nutrients and water. This project aims to discover new regulators that are central players in both processes. Applying these regulators to roots should enable legumes to nodulate more, to fix more nitrogen, and to fundamentally alter important aspects of root architecture. Thus, these regulators will be used to enhance nitrogen fixation more widely in legumes and to alter their root architecture to enhance growth. These regulators may find wide utility in improving agriculture in developed and developing countries.

农艺学研究的两个关键目标是扩大豆类与根瘤菌相互作用产生的共生固氮的益处，并改善根系结构，以便植物更有效地获得养分和水分。该项目旨在发现在这两个过程中发挥核心作用的新监管机构。将这些调节剂应用于根部应该能够使豆类植物吸收更多的氮，固定更多的氮，并从根本上改变根结构的重要方面。因此，这些调节剂将被用于更广泛地提高豆科植物的固氮作用，并改变它们的根结构以促进生长。这些调节器在改善发达国家和发展中国家的农业方面可能具有广泛的效用。
