An elite allele TaNPF7.6-A1mod enhances nitrogen use efficiency and grain yield in wheat

Breeding wheat varieties with a high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) reduces both production costs and threats to the ecological environment. Here, using candidate-gene and genome-wide association studies, we identify TaNPF7.6-A1 as a positive regulator of NUE in wheat. A widely co...
