Climate change is an invisible, silent killer with calamitous effects on living organisms. As
the sessile organism, plants experience a diverse array of abiotic stresses during …

Potassium (K) is an essential element for the growth and development of plants; however, its
scarcity or excessive level leads to distortion of numerous functions in plants. It takes part in …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) are essential macronutrients for
plant growth and development, and their availability affects crop yield. Compared with N, the …

Among the plant nutrients, potassium (K) is one of the vital elements required for plant
growth and physiology. Potassium is not only a constituent of the plant structure but it also …

Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are mineral nutrients that are required in large
quantities by plants. Both elements critically contribute to the process of photosynthesis and …

Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

Background Salinity is a global issue threatening agricultural production systems across the
globe. While the major focus of plant salinity stress tolerance research has been on sodium …

As a consequence of a sessile lifestyle, plants are continuously exposed to changing
environmental conditions and often life-threatening stresses caused by exposure to …
