Cytokinins are N 6 substituted adenine derivatives that affect many aspects of plant growth
and development, including cell division, shoot initiation and growth, leaf senescence …

Sulfur is required for growth of all organisms and is present in a wide variety of metabolites
having distinctive biological functions. Sulfur is cycled in ecosystems in nature where …

Most of the heavy metals (HMs), and metals/metalloids are released into the nature either by
natural phenomenon or anthropogenic activities. Being sessile organisms, plants are …

Sulfur (S) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. S is majorly
absorbed as sulfate from soil, and is then translocated to plastids in leaves, where it is …

Abstract Background Selenium (Se) is not an essential element for plants, although it can
benefit their growth and survival in some envionments. Excess tissue Se concentrations are …

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and a beneficial element for plants.
However, high Se doses always exhibit hazardous effects. Recently, Se toxicity in plant-soil …

Pi acquisition of crops via arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is becoming increasingly
important due to limited high-grade rock Pi reserves and a demand for environmentally …
