Abstract
The addition of H2 (10% by volume) stimulated acetylene reduction associated with excised roots, decapitated plants, and intact plants of rice grown in a continuously flooded field. Excised roots showed H2-uptake activitiy. Stimulation of N2 fixation by H2 in association with field-grown decapitated rice plants was confirmed by 15N2 incorporation.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
