Exploring the molecular and metabolic factors contributing to the adaptation of maize seedlings to nitrate limitation

Crop production on soils containing sub-optimal levels of nitrogen (N) severely compromises yield potential. The development of plant varieties displaying high N use efficiency (NUE) will optimize N fertilizer use and reduce the environmental damage caused by excess N application. Maize is one of th...
