Investigating the Role of MicroRNA396 (miR396) Gene in Regulating Wheat Yield and Grain Nitrogen Concentration

Nitrogen (N) is essential for crop growth, yet excessive fertilization causes environmental issues, highlighting the need to sustain yield and grain N concentration under reduced N input. miR396s are known to regulate plant development and stress responses. Here, we examined whether and how miR396 affects wheat yield a...
