Phosphorus deficiency is a major yield limiting constraint in wheat cultivation on acid soils.
The plant factors that influence P uptake efficiency (PUPE) are mainly associated with root …

Nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-mobilizing bateria, as well as mycorrhizal fungi, can
influence plant nutrition beneficially and thus be used as biofertilizers in agriculture. This …

Root characteristics play an important role in the development of new wheat germplasm with
improved drought tolerance, nutrient and water uptake efficiency, lodging resistance, and …

Growth in production and productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in the past relied heavily
on the application of high doses of nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers. However …

The improvement of nutrient use efficiency in wheat cropping systems can be achieved
through two main strategies: by adopting more efficient crop management practices (such as …

For the foreseeable future a majority of the population, and almost all the mal–and under–
nourished, will continue to be found in the tropics and subtropics. Food security in these …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an important role in phosphorus (P) nutrition of
plants. Varietal differences in AMF infection occur but there is limited information on the …

Root morphological/physiological modifications are important for phosphorus (P) acquisition
of plants under P deficiency, but strategies differ among plant species. Detailed studies on …

Physiologists, agronomists, and breeders have dedicated relatively little attention to
research on root systems, mainly because root studies require much time and intensive …

Providing an appropriate negative control for the experimental factor arbuscular mycorrhiza
(AM) is a fundamental methodological problem. Therefore, the nonmycorrhizal (myc–) and …
