Background Mg is a macronutrient for plant growth. Mg deficiency has become an important
limiting factor in intensive agricultural production, resulting in reduced crop yield and quality …

Abstract Magnesium (Mg2+) is the most prevalent divalent intracellular cation. As co-factor in
many enzymatic reactions, Mg2+ is essential for protein synthesis, energy production, and …

Magnesium transporters (MGTs) play a prominent role in the absorption, transportation, and
storage of magnesium in plant cells. In the present study, MGT gene family members were …

Magnesium is pivotal for activating a large number of enzymes; hence, magnesium plays an
important role in numerous physiological and biochemical processes affecting plant growth …

Vacuoles in vegetative tissues allow the plant surface to expand by accumulating
energetically cheap inorganic osmolytes, and thereby optimize the plant for absorption of …

Magnesium (Mg)-mediated alleviation of aluminum (Al) toxicity has been observed in a
number of plant species, but the mechanisms underlying the alleviation are still poorly …
