Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

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 …

Deficiency in phosphorus (P) can severely limit rice yields. Developing cultivars with
tolerance to P deficiency may represent a more sustainable solution than sole reliance on …

A greenhouse experiment was carried out to study the severity of phosphorus (P) deficiency
symptoms on leaves, shoot dry matter production, and shoot concentration and content (the …

More efficient utilization of phosphorus by wheat plants is needed to extend the useful life of
the phosphate reserves in the world, to reduce the cost of producing crops, and to improve …

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 …

Tropical regions have the largest land area available for agricultural production to meet
growing demand for food by the rapidly increasing world population. Tropical agriculture …

There are large agricultural areas in the world where wheat yields are limited by low
phosphorus (P) availability. Breeding for P uptake and P utilization efficiency may reduce …

Root characteristics play an important role in the development of new wheat germplasm with
improved drought tolerance, nutrient and water uptake efficiency, lodging resistance, and …
