Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused
widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro …

Accurate information about the quantity, quality and spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolite
release from plant roots is vital to understanding the functional significance of root exudates …

Climate change, malnutrition, and food insecurity are the inevitable challenges being faced
by the agriculture sector today. Plants are susceptible to extreme temperatures during the …

Plants rapidly release photoassimilated carbon (C) to the soil via direct root exudation and
associated mycorrhizal fungi, with both pathways promoting plant nutrient availability. This …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) deposition to terrestrial ecosystems has resulted in
widespread phosphorus (P) limitation of net primary productivity. However, it remains …

Highlights•Many studies on plant nitrogen report only the total amounts of the
element.•Nitrate is a major nitrogen source for higher plants.•Elevated CO 2 inhibits nitrate …

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has become an increasingly utilized tool in
biologically relevant studies. Of these, high lateral resolution methodologies using the …

Nitrate is a major nitrogen resource for cereal crops; thus, understanding nitrate signaling in
cereal crops is valuable for engineering crops with improved nitrogen use efficiency …

Most studies on plant nutrition tend to focus on the topsoil (plough layer) and frequently
neglect subsoil processes. However, cereal roots can potentially acquire nutrients including …

Root-triggered processes (growth, uptake and release of solutes) vary in space and time,
and interact with heterogeneous soil microenvironments that provide habitats for (micro) …
