Phosphorus (P) is limiting for crop yield on> 30% of the world's arable land and, by some
estimates, world resources of inexpensive P may be depleted by 2050. Improvement of P …

PEPC [PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) carboxylase] is a tightly controlled enzyme located at
the core of plant C-metabolism that catalyses the irreversible β-carboxylation of PEP to form …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial
electron transport chain (miETC) are central features of carbon metabolism and …

Cluster roots are an adaptation for nutrient acquisition from nutrient-poor soils. They develop
on root systems of a range of species belonging to a number of different families (eg …

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME), and pyruvate,
phosphate dikinase (PPDK) participate in the process of concentrating CO2 in C4 …

Plant metabolism is finely orchestrated to allow the occurrence of complementary and
sometimes opposite metabolic pathways. In part this is achieved by the allosteric regulation …

Background Increasing attention is being focused on the influence of rapid increases in
atmospheric CO2 concentration on nutrient cycling in ecosystems. An understanding of how …

Experiments in nutrient solution were conducted to investigate the exudation of organic
acids (OAs) induced by phosphorus deficiency (–P) and/or aluminium toxicity (+ Al) in two …

Pi (inorganic phosphate) limitation severely impairs plant growth and reduces crop yield.
Hence plants have evolved several biochemical and morphological responses to Pi …
