Applied nitrogen (N) fertilizer significantly increases the leaf yield. However, most N is not
utilized by the plant, negatively impacting the environment. To date, little is known regarding …

Drought stress is one of the major abiotic factors affecting the growth and development of
crops. The primary effect of drought is the alteration of water and nutrient uptake and …

In this paper, we discuss biological potassium acquisition and utilization processes over an
evolutionary timescale, with emphasis on modern vascular plants. The quintessential …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are tetrameric channel proteins regulating the transmembrane flux of
small uncharged solutes and in particular water in living organisms. In plants, members of …

Water is one of the most critical resources limiting plant growth and crop productivity, and
root water uptake is an important aspect of plant physiology governing plant water use and …

To better understand the roles of aquaporins in salt tolerance, we cloned PIP2; 1, PIP2; 2,
PIP2; 3, PIP1; 1, PIP1; 3, and TIP1; 1 aquaporins from three northern grasses varying is salt …

The classic model of nitrogen (N) flux into roots is as a Michaelis–Menten (MM) function of
soil‐N concentration at root surfaces. Furthermore, soil‐N transport processes that …

Boron (B) toxicity often limits crop yield and the quality of production in agricultural areas.
Here, we investigated the effects of calcium (Ca), silicon (Si) and salicylic acid (SA) on …

Fungi of the genus Trichoderma produce secondary metabolites having several biological
activities that affect plant metabolism. We examined the effect of three Trichoderma bioactive …
