Unveiling the role of root functional traits in enhancing nitrogen use efficiency in wheat under nitrogen deficiency
Root morphological traits were superior to photosynthesis capacity in mediating wheat response to low N condition. Notably, RMD holds promise for application in breeding programs aimed at improving NUE in wheat.
