Grain crops are a key driver of the current global phosphorus (P) cycle through their
continued demand for P fertilizer, and the subsequent removal of P from fields in the …

Fertilizers have been largely responsible for the massive increases in world food production
in the past half century that permitted accelerated global population growth to current …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

A greenhouse experiment was carried out to study the severity of phosphorus (P) deficiency
symptoms on leaves, shoot dry matter production, and shoot concentration and content (the …

Depletion of non-renewable rock phosphate reserves and phosphorus (P) fertilizer price
increases has renewed interest in breeding P-efficient varieties. Internal P utilization …

Crop selection and breeding has influenced plant phenotypes and genotypes. The
necessary selection and breeding steps which resulted in today's cultivated plants have …

Many soils have intrinsically low concentrations of available phosphorus (P), which is a
major limitation to crop and pasture growth. Regular applications of P have underpinned …

Phosphorus (P) recovery and P-use efficiency (PUE) by wheat are low, and genetic
improvement in PUE is a potential means of improving the effectiveness of P in farming …

Key message Elite wheat pollinators are critical for successful hybrid breeding. We identified
Rht-B1 and Ppd-D1 loci affecting multiple pollinator traits and therefore represent major …

The review is devoted to the description of allelic variants of Rht genes and their effect on
the traits associated with the growth, development, and yield of wheat plants. The effect of …
