Aim Understanding tree mortality under climate change‐induced droughts requires
knowledge of hydraulic trait distribution across environmental gradients. The spatial …

The increased water shortage and frequent drought in agricultural ecosystems have caused
tremendous problems worldwide, owning to the resulted yield losses for many crops. It is …

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 …

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 …

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

Nanoparticles (NPs) interact with living organisms through different pathways. These
interactions depend on chemical nature of NPs, capping, and size, among others. In the last …

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 …

Potassium fertilizer is indispensable for ensuring crop production, which in turn supports
global food supply and safe farming practices. Potassium resources are primarily located in …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal affecting the normal growth of plants. Nitrate (NO 3−)
and ammonium (NH 4+) are the primary forms of inorganic nitrogen (N) absorbed by plants …

Since the discovery of the first plant aquaporin (AQP) in 1993, our conception of the way
plants control cell water homeostasis as well as their global water balance has been …
