Anthropogenic activities are altering total nutrient loads to many estuaries and freshwaters,
resulting in high loads not only of total nitrogen (N), but in some cases, of chemically …

Plant resource allocation patterns often reveal tradeoffs that favor growth (G) over defense
(D), or vice versa. Ecologists most often explain G–D tradeoffs through principles of …

Coordination of shoot photosynthetic carbon fixation with root inorganic nitrogen uptake
optimizes plant performance in a fluctuating environment [1]. However, the molecular basis …

Plants need to cope with multitudes of stimuli throughout their lifecycles in their complex
environments. Calcium acts as a ubiquitous secondary messenger in response to numerous …

Plant growth and development has to be continuously adjusted to the available resources.
Their optimization requires the integration of signals conveying the plant metabolic status, its …

Amino acid transporters (AAT s) play indispensable roles in nutrient allocation during plant
development. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting expression of the rice amino acid …

Plants are autotrophic and photosynthetic organisms that both produce and consume
sugars. Soluble sugars are highly sensitive to environmental stresses, which act on the …

Summary Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs), which constitute the largest receptor family in
plants, are essential for perceiving and relaying information about various environmental …

Like all organisms, plants require energy for growth. They achieve this by absorbing light
and fixing it into a usable, chemical form via photosynthesis. The resulting carbohydrate …

Plants constantly sense the changes in their environment; when mineral elements are
scarce, they often allocate a greater proportion of their biomass to the root system. This …
