Deficiency of mineral nutrients such as nitrate, phosphate, potassium and sulphate strongly
affects the type and amount of metabolites produced by crops with knock-on effects on …

Linking plant phenotype to gene and protein expression and also to metabolite synthesis
and accumulation is one of the main challenges for improving agricultural production …

Efforts to increase efficient nutrient use by crops are of growing importance as the global
demand for food, fibre and fuel increases and competition for resources intensifies. The …

Potassium (K) is required in large quantities by growing crops, but faced with high fertilizer
prices, farmers often neglect K application in favor of nitrogen and phosphorus. As a result …

Specific metabolic network responses to mineral deficiencies are not well-defined. Here, we
conducted a detailed broad-scale identification of metabolic responses of tomato leaves and …

Potassium and phosphorus are important macronutrients for crops but are often deficient in
the field. Very little is known about how plants sense fluctuations in K and P and how …

The role of inorganic nitrogen assimilation in the production of amino acids is one of the
most important biochemical processes in plants. For this reason, a detailed broad-range …

Background Abiotic stress causes disturbances in the cellular homeostasis. Re-adjustment
of balance in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus metabolism therefore plays a central role in …

In this review, recent developments and future prospects of obtaining a better understanding
of the regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in the main crop species cultivated in the world …

Mineral nutrition plays a vital role in plant growth and metabolism. To date, 17 essential
nutrients have been identified that are direly needed for plant growth. Nitrogen (N) …
