In wheat, overexpression of TaDWF4 overrides normal nutrient sensing allowing for increased biomass when grown under limiting nutrient conditions. This maintenance of growth is associated with modified carbon partitioning and changes in expression of growth regulator TaTOR, offering a route towards breeding for sustained yields with lower nitrogen inputs.
