Nitrogen accounts for approximately 60% of the fertilizer consumed each year; thus, it
represents one of the major input costs for most nonlegume crops. Nitrate is one of the two …

Crop productivity relies heavily on nitrogen (N) fertilization. Production and application of N
fertilizers consume huge amounts of energy, and excess is detrimental to the environment; …

The efficiency with which plants use nutrients to create biomass and/or grain is determined
by the interaction of environmental and plant intrinsic factors. The major macronutrients …

In this review, we present the recent developments and future prospects of improving
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops using various complementary approaches. These …

Abstract Development of genetic varieties with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is
essential for sustainable agriculture. Generally, NUE can be divided into two parts. First …

In the last 40 years the amount of synthetic nitrogen (N) applied to crops has risen
drastically, resulting in significant increases in yield but with considerable impacts on the …

With unfavourable climate changes and an increasing global population, there is a great
need for more productive and stress-tolerant crops. As traditional methods of crop …

Plant breeding and improved management options have made remarkable progress in
increasing crop yields during the past century. However, climate change projections suggest …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

During the past two centuries, the world has witnessed a remarkable increase in the
atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases (GHGs), namely carbon dioxide (CO …
