A new role for nitrate reductase in regulating nitrogen-responsive nodulation

This root nodule symbiosis enables plants to use atmospheric nitrogen for growth, reducing their dependence on nitrogen fertilizers. Applying this characteristic is highly promising for developing sustainable agricultural systems.
