The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Leaf senescence, the last stage of leaf development, is a type of postmitotic senescence and
is characterized by the functional transition from nutrient assimilation to nutrient …

The yield losses in cereal crops because of abiotic stress and the expected huge losses
from climate change indicate our urgent need for useful traits to achieve food security. The …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and a major limiting factor for plant
growth and crop production. Nitrate is the main source of N available to plants in agricultural …

Corteva Agriscience™ ran a discovery research program to identify biotech leads for
improving maize Agronomic Traits such as yield, drought tolerance, and nitrogen use …

Auxin plays an important role in regulating leaf senescence. Auxin response factors (ARFs)
are crucial components of the auxin signaling pathway; however, their roles in leaf …

Nitrate (NO 3-) transporters have been identified as the primary targets involved in plant
nitrogen (N) uptake, transport, assimilation, and remobilization, all of which are key …

Low nitrogen availability is one of the main limiting factors for plant growth and development,
and high doses of N fertilizers are necessary to achieve high yields in agriculture. However …

Leaf senescence is a complex mechanism controlled by multiple genetic and environmental
variables. Different crops present a delay in leaf senescence with an important impact on …

Relay cropping of Poaceae and Fabaceae promotes high yield and land-use efficiency by
allowing a double harvest. However, it is difficult to increase yield synergistically because of …
