We identify an elite haplotype of the transcription factor gene OsGATA8 in rice that is associated with enhanced nitrogen uptake and a higher proportion of productive tillers. Revealing how OsGATA8 regulates nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) enables insights into coordination of nitrogen uptake and productive tiller formation to achieve high NUE in rice.
