Nutrient deficiency effects on root architecture and root-to-shoot ratio in arable crops
Plant root traits play a crucial role in resource acquisition and crop performance when soil
nutrient availability is low. However, the respective trait responses are complex, particularly …

Improving photosynthesis and crop productivity by accelerating recovery from photoprotection
Crop leaves in full sunlight dissipate damaging excess absorbed light energy as heat. When
sunlit leaves are shaded by clouds or other leaves, this protective dissipation continues for …
