Acidic soils hamper maize (Zea mays L.) production, causing yield losses of up to 69%. Low
pH acidic soils can lead to aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), or iron (Fe) toxicities. Genetic …

Unbalanced fertilization of nutritional elements is a potential threat to environmental quality
and agricultural productivity in acid soil. Harnessing keystone taxa in soil microbiome …

Agricultural sustainability faces challenges in the changing climate, particularly for rain-fed
systems like those in Ethiopia. This study examines the combined impacts of climate change …

Abstract Purpose NH4+ and NO3− are the two main inorganic N forms available for plant
growth, and NO3− is the preferred N source of maize (Zea mays L.) grown in acid soils …

Soil acidity has received less attention than other biophysical stresses such as drought and
low N, despite accounting for a considerable reduction in maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in …

Soil acidity, a major threat to food security in developing countries, can cause a staggering
71% decline in maize (Zea mays L.) production. Identifying the genetic basis of aluminum …

The recent study was conducted to examine the influence of acidic soil on the activities of
ascorbate (APX) and guaiacol peroxidase (POD), proline, protein as well as malon …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major staple crop in Central Africa and has the potential to mitigate
the food insecurity in the sub region. However, maize grain yield is severely constrained by …

To improve crop nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE), plants must be supplied with their
preferred form of nitrogen (N). However, whether pH affects crop N-form preference remains …

The plasticity elongation of mesocotyl (MES) and coleoptile (COL) largely determines the
morphology of maize seedlings under abiotic stresses. The profilin (PRF) proteins play a …
