Rice gene switch helps plants rebound from cold and use nitrogen more efficiently
Source ↗ 👁 28 💬 0

Meanwhile, excessive nitrogen fertilizer use in agriculture has increased non-point-source pollution. Improving both stress resilience and nitrogen use efficiency has therefore become a major challenge for sustainable crop production.
