Chloride (Cl−) has traditionally been considered a micronutrient largely excluded by plants
due to its ubiquity and abundance in nature, its antagonism with nitrate (NO3−), and its …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is the most important fibre crop, with desirable characteristics
preferred for textile production. Cotton fibre output relies heavily on nitrate as the most …

Improving maize drought tolerance is of great importance for scaling up production due to
food security and population growth. Carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by hydrothermal …

Maintaining assimilates metabolism is critical for root and shoot normal function, especially
during drought. However, little is known about how plants coordinate assimilates transport …

In maize, nitrogen (N) stored in leaves is an important internal source for supporting
subsequent growth and development. However, the regulation of N fluxes and …

Abstract Chloride (Cl−), traditionally considered harmful for agriculture, has recently been
defined as a beneficial macronutrient with specific roles that result in more efficient use of …

Nitrate absorbed by soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) roots from the soil can promote plant
growth, while nitrate transported to nodules inhibits nodulation and nodule nitrogen fixation …

The use of grafting techniques for horticultural crops increases plant tolerance to various
abiotic and biotic stresses. Tomato production under greenhouse conditions relies on plants …

Under field conditions, plants need to optimize nutrient ion and water acquisition in their
fluctuating environment. One of the most important variables involved in variations of ion …

Vigorous interspecific rootstocks increase nitrogen (N) uptake in tomato plants but limited
information is available on xylem transport rate. Non-grafted and self-grafted tomato plants …
