Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are some of the vital
nutrients required for optimum growth, development, and productivity of plants. The …

Zinc plays many essential roles in life. As a strong Lewis acid that lacks redox activity under
environmental and cellular conditions, the Zn 2+ cation is central in determining protein …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for plant growth and reproduction. Plants
preferentially absorb P as orthophosphate (Pi), an ion that displays low solubility and that is …

Appropriate foliar application of zinc (Zn) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) is
important for the proper growth and yield of tomato. However, the effects of foliar application …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

In nature, land plants as sessile organisms are faced with multiple nutrient stresses that
often occur simultaneously in soil. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans. Nearly 50% of the agriculture
soils of world are Zn-deficient. The low availability of Zn reduces the yield and quality of the …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential nutrients for plants, and is indispensable for plant
growth and development. P deficiency severely limits crop yield, and regular fertilizer …

Under the changing climatic conditions, one of the most pressing issues in wheat production
is the improvement of the yield quality, the lack of which has a negative impact on animal …

Although abundant in soils, iron (Fe) is poorly bioavailable for plants. Improving Fe uptake in
crops, enabling them to grow in Fe-depleted soils, has become a major focal interest. The …
