Improving Leaf GOGAT Activity After the Post-Silking Period Contributes to High Grain Yield with Reduced Nitrogen in N-Efficient Maize by Haoyu Li, Yanbing Wang, Jian Wang, Meng Zhang, Wenbo Liu, Xiangling Li, Xiaohu Lin

“…We also explored the key enzymes and genes related to the N transport amount and efficiency in leaves in the two maize varieties, and found that GOGAT was the key enzyme and <i>GOGAT2</i> was the key gene for JNK728, whereas the AS enzyme and <i>AS1</i> and <i>AS3</i> genes were most important for XY335. Therefore, we suggest that molecular breeding programs should focus on the <i>GOGAT2</i> gene in low-N-efficient maize varieties, and cultivation techniques should aim to improve the GOGAT enzyme activity after the post-silking period to achieve high yields and N utilization efficiencies with less N fertilizer.…”
