Abstract excerpt
Nitrogen fertilization remains a cornerstone of modern agriculture, yet its excessive use contributes to environmental degradation. Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is notably inefficient in N uptake, highlighting the importance of root traits that enhance soil exploration and nutrient acquisition. This study investigated root transcriptomic responses to nitrate availability across rapeseed genetic diversity. A panel...
