The advent of civilization has made humans dependent on plants for food and medicine,
leading to the intensification of agricultural production. The intense cultivation of crops has …

Potassium (K+) is an important macronutrient for plant growth and productivity. It fulfills
important functions and it is widely included in fertilization management strategies to …

A study on the uptake of silica source by maize seeds was conducted under hydroponic
conditions and pot experiments supplemented with nano-SiO2 (20–40 nm) extracted from …

Synergistic improvement in leaf photosynthetic area and rate is essential for enhancing crop
yield. However, reduction in leaf area occurs earlier than that in the photosynthetic rate …

Abstract Background and Aims Crop yield and nutritional quality are significantly reduced
when potassium (K) in soil is deficient. As a beneficial element for plants, silicon (Si) is …

Cotton plants are frequently exposed to potassium deficiency but knowledge is limited on
the effects of this stress at the organ and plant scale. A greenhouse experiment was …

Potassium (K) is crucial for crop growth and is strongly related to stress tolerance and water-
use efficiency (WUE). A major physiological effect of K deficiency is the inhibition of net CO 2 …

Eucalyptus grandis (W. Hill ex Maiden) leaf traits and tree growth were studied over 3 years
after the establishment of two adjacent complete randomized block designs in southern …

Crop photosynthesis (A) and productivity are often limited by a combination of nutrient
stresses, such that changes in the availability of one nutrient may affect the availability of …

Potassium (K) deficiency in plants confines root growth and decreases root‐to‐shoot ratio,
thus limiting root K acquisition in culture medium. A WUSCHEL‐related homeobox (WOX) …
