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 …

Salinity is one of the major constraints to plant growth and development across the globe
that leads to the huge crop productivity loss. Salinity stress causes impairment in plant's …

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 …

Plants are active contributors to the betterment of human living conditions and play a critical
role in ecological systems. During the process of plant growth and development, several …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient that has been partly overshadowed in root science
by nitrogen and phosphorus. The current boom in potassium-related studies coincides with …

Background Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth and development but it
is often a limiting nutrient in soils. Hence, P acquisition from soil by plant roots is a subject of …

As one of the most important mineral nutrient elements, potassium (K+) participates in many
plant physiological processes and determines the yield and quality of crop production. In this …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …

Nutrients are essential for optimal growth and development of plants. Nutrient availability
and composition in the soil varies largely from region to region. The deficiency of essential …

The main functions of plant roots are water and nutrient uptake, soil anchorage, and
interaction with soil-living biota. Root hairs, single cell tubular extensions of root epidermal …
