The role of glutamine synthetase isozymes in enhancing nitrogen use efficiency of N-efficient winter wheat

Abstract Glutamine synthetase (GS) isozymes play critical roles in nitrogen (N) metabolism. However, the exact relationship between GS and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) remain unclear. We have selected and compared two wheat cultivars, YM49 and XN509, which were identified as the N-efficient and N-i...
