Abstract
Prospects of Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Potato: Lessons From Transgenics to Genome Editing Strategies in Plants.
Highlights
Feeding the world population increasing from current 7.7 to 9.7 billion by 2050 is a big challenge (United Nations, 2019)
Significant research advancements have been made in nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in plants like Arabidopsis, rice, maize and wheat (Li et al, 2017), and physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying N pathways have been elucidated in plants (Kant et al, 2011)
Owing to the adverse impacts and high production cost caused by excess N fertilizers application, improving NUE of plant is an environmental-friendly approach to achieve sustainable crop yield (Fageria et al, 2008). This opinion article highlights prospects for improving NUE in potato based on the lessons learnt from the transgenics to the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 genome editing research in plants
