The present disclosure provides metabolic signatures and genetic markers for tracking enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency phenotypes in tobacco plants and for introgressing enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency phenotypes into tobacco plants. The disclosure also provides tobacco plants comprising enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency and methods to the creation of tobacco plants comprising enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency. The disclosure also provides recombinant polynucleotides and polypeptides for enhancing nitrogen utilization efficiency in modified tobacco plants and tobacco plants comprising the provided recombinant polynucleotides and polypeptides.
A method of producing a tobacco plant comprising an enhanced nitrogen utilization efficiency (NUE) trait comprising:
A method of producing a tobacco plant comprising an enhanced NUE trait comprising:
A modified tobacco seed, or tobacco plant grown therefrom, comprising a cisgenic polynucleotide comprising a heterologous promoter operably linked to a coding region, wherein said coding region encodes a polypeptide comprising at least 80% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and wherein said modified tobacco plant comprises an enhanced NUE trait as compared to an unmodified control tobacco plant lacking said cisgenic polynucleotide when grown under the same conditions.
