Increased incidence of abiotic stresses impacting adversely plant growth and productivity in
major crops is being witnessed all over the world. Therefore, as a result of such stress …

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. Root system
architecture (RSA) affects a plant's ability to obtain phosphate, the major form of phosphorus …

In the coming decades, larger genetic gains in yield will be necessary to meet projected
demand, and this must be achieved despite the destabilizing impacts of climate change on …

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 …

Plant roots play a significant role in plant growth by exploiting soil resources via the uptake
of water and nutrients. Root traits such as fine root diameter, specific root length, specific root …

Jasmonic acid (JA) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) are master regulators of plant development
and stress response against pathogens and environmental fluctuations. Thus, JA is an …

Root systems can display variable architectures that contribute to survival strategies of
plants. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana possesses a tap root system, in which the …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors threatening food security worldwide. Recently, our
understanding of early processes underlying salinity tolerance has expanded. In this review …

Plant roots show a particularly high variation in their morphological response to different
nutrient deficiencies. Although such changes often determine the nutrient efficiency or stress …

With increasing demand of agricultural production and as the peak in global production will
occur in the next decades, phosphorus (P) is receiving more attention as a nonrenewable …
