'The nitrogen crisis; what are the
solutions?'
Oxford Martin School, 18th Sept. 2015
Meeting overview
A broad, discipline-spanning one-day symposium to
examine the nitrogen crisis, its severity and how we measure
and monitor it.
Innovations to alleviate the nitrogen crisis will be explored,
from changing agricultural practice, legume breeding,
nodulation of cereals, cereal nitrogen use efficiency, through to
engineering solutions such as expressing nitrogenase in
mitochondria, synthetic symbioses and exploiting natural
endophytes.
How these relate to social and regulatory aspects of
changing agricultural practice in both developing and welldeveloped counties will be considered.
Networking reception: Thurs 17th Sept. from 7pm Flora
Anderson Building, Somerville College.
Symposium: Fri 18th Sept. 9am-5.30pm Oxford Martin School.
