The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

The drought stress responses of vascular plants are complex regulatory mechanisms
because they include various physiological responses from signal perception under water …

Plant hormones are a group of small signaling molecules produced by plants at very low
concentrations that have the ability to move and function at distal sites. Hormone …

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 …

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 …

Distribution patterns and finely-tuned concentration gradients of plant hormones govern
plant growth and development. Gibberellin (GA) is a plant hormone regulating key …

Plant growth, development, and response to the environment are mediated by a group of
small signaling molecules named hormones. Plants regulate hormone response pathways …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient that affects plant growth and development. N is an
important component of chlorophyll, amino acids, nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites …

Drought is a severe environmental constraint, which significantly affects plant growth,
productivity, and quality. Plants have developed specific mechanisms that perceive the …

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 …
