The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential element required for the growth and development of all plants.
On a global scale, N is agriculture's most widely used fertilizer nutrient. Studies have shown …

Nitrate is an essential nutrient and signaling molecule for plant growth. Plants sense
intracellular nitrate to adjust their metabolic and growth responses. Here we identify the …

Studying the regulatory mechanisms that drive nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in crops is
important for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. In this study, we …

The transcription regulatory network inside a eukaryotic cell is defined by the combinatorial
actions of transcription factors (TFs). However, TF binding studies in plants are too few in …

Glucosinolates are secondary defense metabolites produced by plants of the order
Brassicales, which includes the model species Arabidopsis and many crop species. In the …

The evolutionarily conserved target-of-rapamycin (TOR) kinase coordinates cellular and
organismal growth in all eukaryotes. Amino acids (AAs) are key upstream signals for …

GATA factors are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that are found in animals,
fungi, and plants. Compared to that of animals, the size of the plant GATA family is …

Plants have evolved a multitude of strategies to adjust their growth according to external and
internal signals. Interconnected metabolic and phytohormonal signalling networks allow …

Salt stress impairs nutrient metabolism in plant cells, leading to growth and yield penalties.
However, the mechanism by which plants alter their nutrient metabolism processes in …
