In low-nitrogen conditions, #plants prioritize root biomass, compromising shoot #growth and photosynthetic capacity.
This commentary discusses the role of the transcription factor WRINKLED1a to coordinate nitrogen-responsive root and shoot growth in #rice, improving nitrogen-use efficiency and yield stability.
