In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Background Nitrogen (N) is one of the key mineral nutrients for plants and its availability has
a major impact on their growth and development. Most often N resources are limiting and …

In this review, recent developments and future prospects of obtaining a better understanding
of the regulation of nitrogen use efficiency in the main crop species cultivated in the world …

The ability of rhizospheric humic substances to improve plant growth has been well
established by many studies carried out using diverse plant species cultivated under many …

In the majority of agricultural growing regions, crop production is highly dependent on the
supply of exogenous nitrogen (N) fertilizers. Traditionally, this dependency and the use of N …

The enzymatic controlled metabolic processes in cells occur at their optimized pH ranges,
therefore cellular pH homeostasis is fundamental for life. In plants, the nitrogen (N) source …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Abstract Plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PM H+-ATPases) are critical proton pumps that
export protons from the cytoplasm to the apoplast. The resulting proton gradient and …

Numerous studies have reported the ability of humic substances to increase shoot growth in
different plant species cultivated under diverse growth conditions. However, the mechanism …

Iron is a trace element essential for normal plant life activities and is involved in various
metabolic pathways such as chlorophyll synthesis, photosynthesis, and respiration …
