Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

Highlights•Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) responsiveness describes the ability of plants to
respond to AM with growth or yield differences.•AM responsiveness depends on the plant …

Lateral roots (LRs) dominate the overall root surface of adult plants and are crucial for soil
exploration and nutrient acquisition. When grown under mild nitrogen (N) deficiency …

Nitrogen (N), one of the most important nutrients, limits plant growth and crop yields in
sustainable agriculture system, in which phytohormones are known to play essential roles in …

In most soils, the spatial distribution of nutrients and water in the rooting zone of plants is
heterogeneous and changes over time. To access localized resources more efficiently …

Plants generally enhance their root growth in the form of greater biomass and/or root length
to boost nutrient uptake in response to short-term low nitrogen (LN). However, the …

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to optimize their
growth and development in response to fluctuating nutrient levels. Brassinosteroids (BRs) …

Responsiveness to environmental conditions and developmental plasticity of root systems
are crucial determinants of plant fitness. These processes are interconnected at a cellular …

Brassinosteriod (BR) plays important roles in regulation of plant growth, development and
environmental responses. BR signaling regulates multiple biological processes through …
