Crocin carotenoids have many #medicinal benefits, but production is tricky.
Wang et al. report that #metabolic engineering may be the solution, producing a #rice germplasm that biosynthesizes crocin and other #carotenoids.

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.
