Orstom rewarded
The French Academie d'Agriculture has recently awarded its special Jean Dufrenoy Prize to Bernard Dreyfus of ORSTOM for his work on nitrogen fixation. The research on Sesbania rostrata (see SPORE 12), the legume with exceptional nitrogen-fixing potential, has for the first time succeeded in producing in vitro nodules, by infecting Sesbania protoplasts with Azorhizobium, the bacterium responsible for nitrogen fixation. These nodules will, for the first time make the study of the mechanisms of cellular interactionbetween the two organisms feasible.
