Although iron (Fe) needs by fruit trees are relatively low, Fe deficiency represents the main
constraint for successful cultivation of fruit tree crops in calcareous and alkaline soils …

Effects of salinization of soil on emergence, seedling growth and mineral accumulation of
Salvadora persica Linn.(Salvadoraceae) were studied. A mixture of chlorides and sulphates …

Phenomenal progress has been made in our understanding of the several and diverse ways
in which micronutrients alter or regulate the functioning of plants and produce a wide array …

An open-air pot experiment was conducted to investigate effects of pressmud (PM) on saline-
sodic soil reclamation, mitigating the adverse effects of saline irrigation and increase of …

Ion compartmentalization is essential for plant growth and development. The Arabidopsis
open reading frames for CAX1, CAX2, and CAX3 (cation exchangers 1, 2, and 3) were …

Cation transporters/channels are key players in a wide range of physiological functions in
plants, including cell signaling, osmoregulation, plant nutrition and metal tolerance. The …

Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient for plants and is the ai in pesticides for some
pathogens and algae. Elevated doses of Cu can cause toxicity in plants. While silicon (Si) is …

Plants have many natural properties that make them ideally suited to clean up polluted soil,
water, and air, in a process called phytoremediation. We are in the early stages of testing …

Zinc is an essential micronutrient. Genes responsible for zinc uptake have now been
identified from yeast and plants. These genes belong to an extended family of cation …

Abstract Potassium (K+), the most abundant cation in biological organisms, plays a crucial
role in the survival and development of plant cells, modulation of basic mechanisms such as …
