Phosphorus (P) is one of the major factors worldwide limiting crop growth. Enhancing P
efficiency in plants can be achieved through improving P acquisition, utilization, or both …

Grain crops are a key driver of the current global phosphorus (P) cycle through their
continued demand for P fertilizer, and the subsequent removal of P from fields in the …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Background Low phytoavailability of phosphorus (P) limits crop production worldwide.
Increasing seed P content can improve plant establishment and increase yields. This is …

Abiotic Stresses explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with
resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide, such as drought …

Background and aims Year of release of a cultivar reflects the agricultural and breeding
practices of its time; we hypothesize that there are differences in mycorrhizal responsiveness …

The objective of this study was to map QTLs regulating P uptake (PUP) and utilization
efficiency (UTE), and analyze the association of these QTLs with agronomic traits of wheat …

Phosphorus (P) efficiency includes both P acquisition efficiency (PAE) and internal P
utilization efficiency (PUE). Despite substantial research, genotypic variation in PAE and …

Genetic variation in phosphorus utilization efficiency (PUE) widely exists among wheat
genotypes. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Two contrasting wheat …

Being a macronutrient, phosphorus (P) is the backbone to complete the growth cycle of
plants. However, because of low mobility and high fixation, P becomes the least available …
