Background Potassium (K+) is an important nutrient ion in plant cells and plays crucial roles
in many plant physiological and developmental processes. In the natural environment, K+ …

Plants require macro-and micronutrients, each of which is essential for a plant to complete
its life cycle. Adequate provision of nutrients impacts greatly on plant growth and as such is …

Potassium (K) plays a major role in the basic functions of plant growth and development. In
addition, K is also involved in numerous physiological functions related to plant health and …

K (K) is of paramount importance for apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.), not only for tree
growth and development but also for the size and quality of fruit yield. The apple plant's …

To avoid loss of yield, crops must maintain tissue potassium (K) concentrations above 5–40
mg K (g DM)–1. The supply of K from the soil is often insufficient to meet this demand and, in …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are highly toxic, persistent organic pollutants that
threaten ecosystems and human health. Consistent monitoring is essential to minimize the …

Plant growth and development depend on sufficient nutrient availability in soils. Agricultural
soils are generally nitrogen (N) deficient, and thus soils need to be supplemented with …

K is the third most important plant macronutrient after nitrogen and phosphorus. It is
absorbed from soil primarily in the form of K+ and is required in the plants for early growth …

Abstract Futile transmembrane NH3/NH4+ cycling in plant root cells, characterized by
extremely rapid fluxes and high efflux to influx ratios, has been successfully linked to …

Potassium (K+) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth and development.
However, K+ content in soils is usually limited so that the crop yields are restricted. Plants …
