Phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate salts) can constitute a large fraction of the organic P
in soils. As a more recalcitrant form of soil organic P, up to 51 million metric tons of phytate …

The increasing demand for food has increased dependence on chemical fertilizers that
promote rapid growth and yield as well as produce toxicity and negatively affect nutritional …

The formation and turnover of soil organic matter (SOM) includes the biogeochemical
processing of the macronutrient elements nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) …

Myo-inositol is a natural polyol, the most abundant among the nine possible structural
isomers available in living organisms. Inositol confers some distinctive traits that allow for a …

Data on the distribution of phosphorus (P) species in soils with differing land uses and
properties are essential to understanding environmental P availability and how fertiliser …

Phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) spectroscopy is an important tool for
the study of soil P and has significantly advanced our knowledge of soil P forms, particularly …

Cell signaling via inositol phosphates, in particular via the second messenger myo‐inositol
1, 4, 5‐trisphosphate, and phosphoinositides comprises a huge field of biology. Of the nine …

Background Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth, taking part in primary
cellular metabolic processes as a structural component of key biomolecules. Soil processes …

The technique of 31 P-NMR spectroscopy has done more to advance the knowledge of
organic P forms in environmental samples than any other method. Early 31 P-NMR work …

Phosphorylation is the most common module of cellular signalling pathways. The dynamic
nature of phosphorylation, which is conferred by the balancing acts of kinases and …
