Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are essential macronutrients for plants; they play crucial
roles for photoassimilate production and transport. The knowledge on both individual and …

Quinoa has been widely used as a model crop for understanding salt-tolerance in halophyte
plants. However, a salt tolerance mechanism regarding the photosynthetic activity is poorly …

Both compact planting and selecting superior maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids can greatly
optimize the source–sink relationship and enhance maize productivity. However, the …

Intensified salt stress is an acute hindrance to crop cultivation, whereas plant signaling
molecules can efficiently prompt salinity tolerance. Therefore, this study was accomplished …

Interpreting signals from the endogenous phytohormone trans-zeatin, which promotes cell
division and differentiation, is essential for understanding plant growth and development. In …

Salt stress affects yield formation of corn (Zea mays L.) at various physiological levels
resulting in an overall grain yield decrease. In this study we investigated how salt stress …

Water-deficit stresses such as drought and salinity are the most important factors limiting
crop productivity. Hence, understanding the plant responses to these stresses is key for the …

The mechanisms underlying nitrogen (N)-regulated plant-fungi interactions are not well
understood. N application modulates plant carbohydrate (C) sinks and is involved in the …

Maize plants (Zea mays L. cv. Pioneer 3906) were grown in hydroponics with four different
NaCl treatments (control, 50, 100, 150 mM NaCl). Nitrogen (N) was supplied as 2 mM Ca …

The substitution of potassium ions (K+) by sodium ions (Na+) in the nutrition of plants is
restricted. It was shown earlier that net protein synthesis is the process which is most …
