Modulating tiller formation in cereal crops by the signalling function of fertilizer nitrogen forms

Abstract Cereal crop yield comprises interrelated components, among which the number of tillers is highly responsive to nitrogen fertilization. We addressed the hypothesis of whether the supply of different nitrogen forms can be employed to manipulate the tiller number in cereal crops. Relative to u...
