Potassium is the major cation responsible for the maintenance of the ionic environment in
plant cells. Stable potassium homeostasis is indispensable for virtually all cellular functions …

Potassium humate is a widely used biostimulant known for its ability to enhance growth and
improve tolerance to abiotic stress. However, the molecular mechanisms explaining its …

Al3+ ions are considered to be the most toxic form of aluminum for plant roots. To identify
this metal ion in roots, a molecule, 4, 4′-(propane-2, 2-diyl) bis (2-((E)-(2 …

Arsenic (As) contamination of rice grain poses a serious threat to human health. Therefore, it
is crucial to reduce the bioavailability of As in the soil and its accumulation in rice grains to …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are three macroelements in
agriculture production, but their combined effects on arsenic (As) toxicity and its …

The potassium (K) fertilizer resource is limited worldwide and hence, there is a need to
increase potassium-use efficiency. In view of this, the present study investigated the efficacy …

Biomass ash (BA) contains alkaline cations such as K, Ca, and Mg. Due to its high pH, direct
application to the soil may result in soil salinization. Composting of BA with organic matter is …

There are scarce data regarding the effects of soil amendments on biophysicochemical
responses of plants at the early stages of growth/germination. This study critically compares …

Application of a chemosensor for imaging Zn 2+ in plant's root has rarely been reported. We
report here synthesis and characterization of 4, 4′-(propane-2, 2-diyl) bis (2 …

Many soil amendments are used to remediate paddy soils polluted with heavy metals,
including arsenic (As) and lead (Pb). This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of …
