Rising demand for protein-rich foods can impact N2O emissions from croplands. Recent research has pointed to the role of modified plant vasculature in grain protein increase. Here we highlight how discovering the mechanistic role of plant vasculature in protein improvement and nitrogen-use efficiency could reduce global N2O emissions.
Keywords: N(2)O emissions; climate change; nitrogen-use efficiency; plant vasculature.
