      love to see such enthusiastic/joyful science tweets about something that reads like gobbledygook to mehttps://twitter.com/calebgrowsfood/status/1026883885995622400 …

      Congratulations to my friend & mentor #howardyanashapiro who just changed the world with 38 years of research on corn that fixes its own nitrogen from the air without fertilizer - The paper is being released at 2PM on @PLOSBiology https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2006352 … #NobelPrize

      seriously, though, is there a one-sentence summary of why people seem to be losing it over this paper about mucous-y corn?https://twitter.com/MichaelRaissig/status/1027091852678389760 …

          Companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the holy grail: getting non-legume crops to fix their own nitrogen. Meanwhile, nature already figured this out. Maize that excretes mucus to support N-fixers. 29-82% of their N from this! http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2006352 …

          Green revolution = we made nitrogen from atmosphere, used it as fertilizer and changed the world. Now through breeding of this variety we could make all corn make its own nitrogen from the air and not need fertilizer.

          that is very cool... how many steps removed are we from that from this study? Is this study just a "this may be possible with the right tinkering" or a sign a big change in fertilizer will come?
