Jasmonic Acid Mediates Maize(Zea Mays L.) Roots Response to Soil Nitrogen Heterogeneity

In this study, we performed phenotypic analysis, transcriptomic analysis in respect of maize roots under different nitrogen distribution patterns. The important metabolic pathways involved in the roots under the nitrogen distribution pattern were assessed by combinatorial analysis of the histological data. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms by which nitrogen heterogeneity controls root growth and development from different molecular aspects. The results of this study will deepen our understanding of the mechanisms by which nitrogen application patterns affect root development in agroecosystems and provide valuable information for precision fertilization in production.
