To face future challenges in crop production dictated by global climate changes, breeders
and plant researchers collaborate to develop productive crops that are able to withstand a …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient that affects plant growth and development. N is an
important component of chlorophyll, amino acids, nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites …

Application of chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen (N), to crops has increased
dramatically in the last half century and therefore developing crop varieties with improved N …

Root phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as a target for the development of more
productive crops in variable environments. However, the plasticity of root anatomical and …

Root system architecture (RSA), the distribution of roots in soil, plays a major role in plant
survival. RSA is shaped by multiple developmental processes that are largely governed by …

Developmental plasticity of root system architecture is crucial for plant performance in
nutrient-poor soils. Roots of plants grown under mild nitrogen (N) deficiency show a foraging …

The plant root is the first organ to encounter salinity stress, but the effect of salinity on root
system architecture (RSA) remains elusive. Both the reduction in main root (MR) elongation …

In nature, plants have to handle daily fluctuations in light and temperature. In addition, plants
face biotic and abiotic stresses that often come in various combinations. For instance, the …

Availability of the essential macronutrient nitrogen in soil plays a critical role in plant growth,
development, and impacts agricultural productivity. Plants have evolved different strategies …

Phytohormones regulate plant growth and development by integrating various internal
developmental cues with external environmental conditions. Jasmonic acid (JA) is an …
