Coordinating nitrogen‐responsive root and shoot growth for enhanced nitrogen‐use efficiency

Key Points

• 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.
