Foreign media: Chinese scientists have discovered a new three-dimensional DNA structure in rice, which can increase yield while reducing the use of nitrogen fertilizer.
The study was conducted by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and published in the journal "Nature Genetics." The study reveals how specific DNA circular mechanisms affect gene expression related to nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency and yield in rice. By understanding this three-dimensional genome structure, scientists hope to develop strategies that can optimize crop performance while reducing fertilizer use.
This discovery is considered an important step forward in improving food security and promoting sustainable agricultural practices, helping to address the challenges posed by global population growth and environmental issues.
