Plant Protein Helps Crops Cut Down on Nitrogen Bingeing

Scientists have found a plant protein that tells crops to ease up on nitrogen munching when they’re full! This study, led by Gloria Coruzzi at NYU, shows that ditching this protein could help plants soak up more nitrogen. While this could save farmers money and help the environment, turning lab results into real farming is a tricky challenge!
