Integrating agronomic, genomic, and remote sensing approaches improves wheat nitrogen use efficiency by addressing key physiological and technological constraints.
- Why it matters: Enhancing nitrogen use efficiency is vital for increasing crop yields while reducing environmental pollution caused by nitrogen losses, yet current efficiencies remain below 50%.
- What they did: The review synthesizes advances in physiological understanding, remote sensing technologies, and genomics, including over 100 genetic loci and multi-omics data, to develop integrated strategies.
- The result: This comprehensive framework enables the development of climate-smart, nitrogen-efficient wheat varieties and precision management systems that boost productivity and sustainability.
