Background To improve plant phosphorus (P)-acquisition efficiency to secure sustainable
food production, an important step is to increase the concentration of plant-available P in the …

Despite intense research on the in vitro characterization of regulatory factors modulating the
alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway, the regulation of its activity in vivo is still not fully …

The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

Crop plants are continuously exposed to various abiotic stresses like drought, salinity,
ultraviolet radiation, low and high temperatures, flooding, metal toxicities, nutrient …

Introduction Phosphorus (P) deficiency hinders cotton (Gossypium hirustum L.) growth and
development, seriously affecting lint yield and fiber quality. However, it is still unclear how P …

Background Soil salt stress is a problem in the world, which turns into one of the main
limiting factors hindering maize production. Salinity significantly affects root physiological …

Melatonin mediates many physiological processes in plants. The problem of apple replant
disease is unsolved. Our study objectives were to evaluate the regulatory effect of melatonin …

Adjustments in root biomass allocation, root morphology, carboxylate exudation and
mycorrhizal symbiosis are well‐known strategies for plants to cope with phosphorus (P) …

Drought greatly influences the growth and ecological stoichiometry of plants in arid and semi-
arid regions such as karst areas, where Cinnamomum migao (C. migao) is an endemic tree …

The use of biopesticides has gradually become essential to ensure food security and
sustainable agricultural production. Nevertheless, the use of single biopesticides is …
