Is it possible to conduct Agrobacterium mediated nitrogen fixing gene(nif gene) transfer into plant species?

08 August 2016 1 6K Report

Some bacteria naturally can utilize atmospheric nitrogen. My question is their any research is going to transfer nif gene into non-leguminous plant.

Thanks in advance
