A team at New York University has pinpointed a protein, known as HHO5, that acts as a signal for plants to cease nitrogen absorption once they have reached their capacity. This research, which appears in the journal The Plant Cell, may pave the way for creating crops that need fewer fertilizers, potentially lowering agricultural expenses and environmental impact. To make this discovery, the team examined gene regulators that respond to varying amounts and forms of nitrogen.
