Transcriptomic responses of rice to melatonin and nitrogen link altered carbon-nitrogen metabolism to methane emission dynamics.
Methane (CH4) emissions from rice paddies are a major source of greenhouse gases and are strongly influenced by nitrogen (N) fertilization. This study investigated how two N levels (75 kg/ha, N1; 150 kg/ha, N2) and water irrigation melatonin (100 μM) interactively affect CH4 dynamics, rice growth, and the leaf transcri...
