Researchers have engineered plants able to redirect excess nitrogen stored in their tissues to parts of the plant needing it most—both encouraging greater yields, and ultimately reducing the need for excessive nitrogen fertilizer applied to farmland. Nitrous oxide has a global warming potential of around 300 times that of carbon dioxide on a mass basis.
