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) …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Since the completion of
rice reference genome sequences, tremendous progress has been achieved in …

Pan-genomes from large natural populations can capture genetic diversity and reveal
genomic complexity. Using de novo long-read assembly, we generated a graph-based …

Producing sufficient food with finite resources to feed the growing global population while
having a smaller impact on the environment has always been a great challenge. Here, we …

The indispensable role of nitrogen fertilizer in ensuring world food security together with the
severe threats it poses to the ecosystem makes the usage of nitrogen fertilizer a major …

Nitrogen (N), one of the most important nutrients, limits plant growth and crop yields in
sustainable agriculture system, in which phytohormones are known to play essential roles in …

Plant nitrogen (N)-use efficiency (NUE) is largely determined by the ability of root to take up
external N sources, whose availability and distribution in turn trigger the modification of root …

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer drives crop productivity and underlies intensive agriculture, but
overuse of fertilizers also causes detrimental effects to ecosystem. To cope with this …

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 …

Auxin signalling plays a key role in various developmental processes ranging from
embryogenesis to senescence in plants. Auxin response factor (ARF), a key component of …
