Improving the uptake and assimilation of nitrogen in wheat plants

Improving the uptake and assimilation of nitrogen in wheat plantsNitrogen is a critical macronutrient with a major influence on wheat grain yield and end use quality. The key challenges are to detect and use genetic variability to breed for more efficient wheat varieties. For this, traits related to nitrogen capture by the root system, then nitrogen assimilation and finally nitrogen remobilization from source organs to the grain are to be considered. The possibility of using these traits will depend on the
