Effects of nitrogen levels on gene expression and amino acid metabolism in Welsh onion
Abstract Background Welsh onion constitutes an important crop due to its benefits in traditional medicine. Nitrogen is an important nutrient for plant growth and yield; however, little is known about its influence on the mechanisms of Welsh onion regulation genes. In this study, we introduced a gene...
