The research aims to investigate how WRINKLED1a influences root and shoot growth in relation to nitrogen efficiency.
Assessing the role of WRINKLED1a in rice under nitrogen-responsive conditions.
Comparing root and shoot growth metrics before and after modifying WRINKLED1a activity.
Analyzing nitrogen-use efficiency and yield stability in genetically modified rice.
Enhanced nitrogen-use efficiency observed in rice with modified WRINKLED1a.
Improved root and shoot growth coordination leads to better yield stability.
Abstract
The transcription factor WRINKLED1a coordinates nitrogen-responsive root and shoot growth in rice, improving nitrogen-use efficiency and yield stability.
