The carbon-nitrogen metabolism gene E1OGDH1 influences maize root system architecture and nitrogen plasticity
Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers have greatly increased crop yields, yet much of the applied nitrogen is lost from agroecosystems and contributes to environmental pollution and higher economic costs. Improving nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE) benefits from understanding how root system architecture (RSA) governs soil ni...
