During the last 25–30 years, intensive research has been carried out globally to explain
nutrient uptake by plants at the molecular level and a large volume of information has been …

When plants are subjected to high metal exposure, different plant species take different
strategies in response to metal-induced stress. Largely, plants can be distinguished in four …

Iron (Fe) is essential for plant growth and development. However, alkaline soils, which
occupy approximately 30% of the world's arable lands, are considered Fe-limiting for plant …

Micronutrients and macronutrients are elements with specific and essential physiological
functions in plant metabolism. This chapter deals with the functions of the individual …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient which affects plant growth and development in
deficiency and can be toxic when present in excess. In Arabidopsis thaliana, different …

Zinc (Zn), which is regarded as a crucial micronutrient for plants, and is considered to be a
vital micronutrient for plants. Zn has a significant role in the biochemistry and metabolism of …

Mineral nutrients taken up from the soil become incorporated into a variety of important
compounds with structural and physiological roles in plants. We summarize how plant …

Plants have evolved a number of adaptive strategies to cope with fluctuations in phosphorus
(P) supply. The current knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the P‐starvation …

Plant nutrition takes care of the interrelationship between soil nutrients and plant growth.
The role of nutrients in plant growth and physiology is dealt in this chapter in its maximum …

Plants count on a wide variety of metabolic, physiological, and developmental responses to
adapt their growth to variations in mineral nutrient availability. To react to such variations …
