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 …

Potassium (K+) and nitrogen (N) are essential nutrients, and their absorption and distribution
within the plant must be coordinated for optimal growth and development. Potassium is …

Nitrogen is the mineral nutrient that plants need in the greatest quantities and the one that
most frequently limits plant growth and crop yields. Most plants get their nitrogen (N) from the …

The enzymatic controlled metabolic processes in cells occur at their optimized pH ranges,
therefore cellular pH homeostasis is fundamental for life. In plants, the nitrogen (N) source …

Potassium (K+) is an essential macronutrient in plants and a lack of K+ significantly reduces
the potential for plant growth and development. By contrast, sodium (Na+), while beneficial …

Background Nitrogen (N) is one of the key mineral nutrients for plants and its availability has
a major impact on their growth and development. Most often N resources are limiting and …

Potassium is an essential macronutrient for plants that fulfills important functions related to
enzyme activation, osmotic adjustment, regulation of membrane electric potential, growth …

Potassium (K+) is an essential nutrient and the most abundant cation in plants, whereas the
closely related ion sodium (Na+) is toxic to most plants at high millimolar concentrations. K+ …

Nitrogen (N) over-application is a serious problem in intensive agricultural production areas
with consequent large N losses and environmental pollution. In contrast to N, potassium (K) …

Uptake of nitrate by root cells followed by reduction and assimilation in plant tissues is the
main route by which mineral N is converted into organic N by living organisms. Like …
