The Seedling Biomass 1 Allele From Indica Rice Enhances Yield Performance Under Low-Nitrogen Environments

Since the "first green revolution" in the 1960s, rice grain yield has risen sharply. However, due to the continual decreasing of cropping areas, further increase in yield potentials is urgently demanding. Long-term excessive fertilization has led to uncontrolled retention of nitrogen fertilizer in the soil and serious pollution of the environment.
