Plants are exposed to an ever-changing environment to which they have to adjust
accordingly. Their response is tightly regulated by complex signaling pathways that all start …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Salinity is detrimental to plant growth, crop production and food security worldwide. Excess

In 2007, the first edition of Handbook of Plant Nutrition presented a compendium of
information on the mineral nutrition of plants available at that time-and became a bestseller …

Cell-to-cell communication and long-distance signaling play a key role in the response of
plants to pests, mechanical wounding, and extreme environmental conditions. Here, we …

With increasing energy prices and the drive to reduce CO2 emissions, food industries are
