Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil
environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it …

The rhizosphere supports the development and activity of a huge and diversified microbial
community, including microorganisms capable to promote plant growth. Among the latter …

There is a concerted understanding of the ability of root exudates to influence the structure of
rhizosphere microbial communities. However, our knowledge of the connection between …

Nitrogen (N) availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants
acquire inorganic N from the soil, mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. To date …

Salinity stress is one of the significant abiotic stresses that influence critical metabolic
processes in the plant. Salinity stress limits plant growth and development by adversely …

Nitrate is a nutrient signal that triggers complex regulation of transcriptional networks to
modulate nutrient-dependent growth and development in plants. This includes time-and …

Plants need to acquire nitrogen (N) efficiently from the soil for growth. Nitrate is one of the
major N sources for higher plants. Therefore, nitrate uptake and allocation are key factors in …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Background Nitrogen (N) is one of the key mineral nutrients for plants and its availability has
a major impact on their growth and development. Most often N resources are limiting and …

The loss of carbon from roots (rhizodeposition) and the consequent proliferation of
microorganisms in the surrounding soil, coupled with the physical presence of a root and …
