Other claims from this paper (3)
- Mechanism The review concludes that single-gene manipulation alone cannot substantially improve cereal nitrogen use efficiency.
- Recommendation The authors recommend coordinated optimization of regulatory networks governing nitrogen metabolism and plant development for nitrogen use efficiency improvement.
- Recommendation The authors recommend combining functional genomics, genome engineering, and field validation to develop high-yielding varieties productive under reduced nitrogen inputs.
