Phosphorus is one of the seventeen essential nutrients required for plant growth. Despite its
importance, it is limiting crop yield on more than 40% of the world's arable land. Moreover …

Background In the context of increasing global food demand, ecological intensification of
agroecosystems is required to increase nutrient use efficiency in plants while decreasing …

The Science of Grapevines, Third Edition reflects the latest insights into cultivar
relationships, vascular transport, hormone action, and stress responses of grapevines …

Water and nutrients exist together in close association because plant-available nutrient ions
are dissolved in the soil solution and nutrient uptake by grapevines depends on water flow …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential nutrients for plant metabolism, and their
availability often limits primary productivity. Whereas the effects of N availability on …

Phosphorus (P) deficit limits high wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields. Breeding low-P-
tolerant cultivars is vital for sustainable agriculture and food security, but the low-P …

Macronutrients play a very important role in plant growth and development. Their functions
range from being structural units to redox-sensitive agents. Generally, application of …

The spatial distribution of leaf elongation and adaxial epidermal cell production in leaf 6 of
maize (Zea mays L. cv. Cecilia) plants grown in a growth chamber under two contrasting …

Abstract Orthophosphate (H2PO4−, Pi) is an essential macronutrient integral to energy
metabolism as well as a component of membrane lipids, nucleic acids, including ribosomal …

Phosphorous (P) fertilization is the major mineral nutrient yield determinant among legume
crops. However, legume crops vary widely in the ability to take up and use P during …
