Food security is currently one of the major challenges that we are facing as a species.
Understanding plant responses and adaptations to limited water availability is key to …

The concentrations of mineral nutrients in seeds are critical to both the life cycle of plants as
well as human nutrition. These concentrations are strongly influenced by soil conditions, as …

In order to grow on soils that vary widely in chemical composition, plants have evolved
mechanisms for regulating the elemental composition of their tissues to balance the mineral …

The plant ionome varies both inter‐and intraspecifically despite the highly conserved roles
for particular elements across the plant kingdom. Element storage requires transport across …

Controlling elemental composition is critical for plant growth and development as well as the
nutrition of humans who utilize plants for food. Uncovering the genetic architecture …

Growth is an integrative trait that responds to environmental factors and is crucial for plant
fitness. A major environmental factor influencing plant growth is nutrient supply. In order to …

Soil is a heterogeneous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and
development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on …

Research into plant nutrition focuses on how plants maintain elemental differences from the
surrounding environment. Classic genetic analysis has been hindered because it is not …

The ionome concept, which stands as the inorganic composition of an organism, was
introduced 15 years ago. Since then, the ionomics approaches have identified several …
