Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is a complex trait which needs to be improved for agriculturally important crops in order to minimize N-fertilizer cost and environmental degradation caused due to unused applied-N in the soil In order to improve nitrogen use efficiency of wheat, we follow nitrate-uptake mediated improvement of NUE in wheat Currently my laboratory undertakes research on identification and functional characterization of key nitrate uptake and translocation related genes in bread whea
