As part of a successful agronomic strategy, adequate nutrient management of the potato
crop is essential throughout the whole growth period. In this review, the importance of …

Soil salinity is a major threat to agricultural sustainability and a global food security. Until
now, most research has concentrated around stomatal limitation to photosynthesis, while …

Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are mineral nutrients that are required in large
quantities by plants. Both elements critically contribute to the process of photosynthesis and …

Intracellular potassium homeostasis is a prerequisite for the optimal operation of plant
metabolic machinery and plant's overall performance. It is controlled by K+ uptake, efflux …

Background Salinity is a worldwide factor limiting the agricultural production. Cotton is an
important cash crop; however, its yield and product quality are negatively affected by soil …

Background Due to its unique chemistry magnesium (Mg) is subject to various cycling
processes in agricultural ecosystems. This high mobility of Mg needs to be considered for …

Partially and fully completed plant genome sequencing projects in both lower and higher
plants allow drawing a comprehensive picture of the molecular and structural diversities of …

Magnesium nutrition is often forgotten, while its absence adversely affects numerous
functions in plants. Magnesium deficiency is a growing concern for crop production …

Plants require calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and sulfur in
relatively large amounts (> 0.1% of dry mass) and each of these so-called macronutrients is …

Abstract Background Sodium (Na+) is one of the most intensely researched ions in plant
biology and has attained a reputation for its toxic qualities. Following the principle of …
