Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Multiple “omics” approaches have emerged as successful technologies for plant systems
over the last few decades. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have paved a …

Hydroponics is a method to grow crops without soil, and as such, these systems are added
to aquaculture components to create aquaponics systems. Thus, together with the …

Plant interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have long attracted interest for their
potential to promote more efficient use of mineral resources in agriculture. Their use …

Ionomics is a high-throughput elemental profiling approach to study the molecular
mechanistic basis underlying mineral nutrient and trace element composition (also known …

In this preliminary article we present data on plant nutrient concentrations in aquaponic
systems, and compare them to nutrient concentrations in “standard” hydroponic solutions …

To identify the key barrier parts and relevant elements during Cd/As transport into brown
rice, 16 elements were measured in 14 different parts of 21 rice genotypes; moreover …

Background Mineral nutrient uptake and utilisation by plants are controlled by many traits
relating to root morphology, ion transport, sequestration and translocation. The aims of this …

The composition of the ionome is closely linked to a plant's nutritional status. Under certain
deficiencies, cross-talk induces unavoidable accumulation of some nutrients, which upsets …

A complete understanding of ionome homeostasis requires a thorough investigation of the
dynamics of the nutrient networks in plants. This review focuses on the complexity of …
