Auxins are plant hormones that play a central role in controlling plant growth and
development across different environmental conditions. Even at low concentrations, auxins …

Nitrogen accounts for approximately 60% of the fertilizer consumed each year; thus, it
represents one of the major input costs for most nonlegume crops. Nitrate is one of the two …

In order to optimally establish their root systems, plants are endowed with several
mechanisms to use at distinct steps during their development. In this review, we zoom in on …

Optimal plant development requires root uptake of 14 essential mineral elements from the
soil. Since the bioavailability of these nutrients underlies large variation in space and time …

Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and basic metabolic processes. The
application of nitrogen-containing fertilizer increases yield, which has been a substantial …

Nitrogen (N) availability is a major factor determining plant growth and productivity. Plants
acquire inorganic N from the soil, mainly in the form of nitrate and ammonium. To date …

Application of chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen (N), to crops has increased
dramatically in the last half century and therefore developing crop varieties with improved N …

Highlights•Myriad transporters ensures N uptake and its distribution throughout the
plant.•Distinct glutamine synthetase isoenzymes contribute to meet the N demand under …

During a plant's lifecycle, the availability of nutrients in the soil is mostly heterogeneous in
space and time. Plants are able to adapt to nutrient shortage or localized nutrient availability …

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …
