In this review we summarize factors determining the plant availability of soil potassium (K),
the role of K in crop yield formation and product quality, and the dependence of crop stress …

Abstract The HAK/KUP/KT family of potassium (K+) transporters belongs to the amino acid-
polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily of carriers for secondary active transport and …

The application of ground silicate minerals to agricultural soils has been proposed as a
method for taking up CO 2 by enhancing the weathering rate of these minerals through their …

Potassium (K) is the most vital and abundant macro element for the overall growth of plants
and its deficiency or, excess concentration results in many diseases in plants. It is involved …

Potassium (K+) is an essential cation in all organisms that influences crop production and
ecosystem stability. Although most soils are rich in K minerals, relatively little K+ is present in …

Background Plants form the base of the terrestrial food chain and provide medicines, fuel,
fibre and industrial materials to humans. Vascular land plants rely on their roots to acquire …

Nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) are the two most abundantly acquired mineral elements by
plants, and their acquisition pathways interact in complex ways. Here, we review pivotal …

Crop production is often restricted by the availability of essential mineral elements. For
example, the availability of N, P, K, and S limits low-input agriculture, the phytoavailability of …

Plants with the crassulacean acid metabolism commonly present good adaptation to arid
and semi-arid environments, but it highly depends on the type of species. In this study …

Faced with the scarcity of water resource and irrational fertilizer use, it is highly important to
supply plants with water and fertilizer at desiderated stages to improve yield with high water …
