One such novel idea is that of inserting into the chromosomes of plants discrete genes that are not a part of the plants’ natural constitution:specifically,the idea of inserting into nonleguminous plants the genes,if they can be identified and isolated,that fit the leguminous plants to be hosts for nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Hence,the intensified research on legumes.

*这个句子很难理解,因为融入了太多的专业知识,但是知识要求并不高,如果以前对基因方面以及豆类植物固氮作用略知一二,理解大意还是不成问题的。
