The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

Legumes, unlike most land plants, can form symbiotic root nodules with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria to secure nitrogen for growth. The formation of nitrogen‐fixing nodules on legume …

Nitrate is an essential nutrient and signaling molecule for plant growth. Plants sense
intracellular nitrate to adjust their metabolic and growth responses. Here we identify the …

Plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) regulate immunity and cell
death. In Arabidopsis, a subfamily of “helper” NLRs is required by many “sensor” NLRs …

The visual deficiency symptoms develo** on plants constitute the ultimate manifestation of
suboptimal nutrient supply. In classical plant nutrition, these symptoms have been …

Salinity is detrimental to plant growth, crop production and food security worldwide. Excess
salt triggers increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, which activate Ca2+-binding proteins …

Nutrients and energy have emerged as central modulators of developmental programmes in
plants and animals,–. The evolutionarily conserved target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is a …

BACKGROUND Although plants are dependent on the capture of a number of elemental
nutrients from the soil, the principal nutrients that limit plant productivity are nitrogen (N) and …

To ensure high crop yields in a sustainable manner, a comprehensive understanding of the
control of nutrient acquisition is required. In particular, the signalling networks controlling the …

Although Ca 2+ has long been recognized as an obligatory intermediate in visual
transduction, its role in plant phototransduction remains elusive. Here, we report a Ca 2+ …
