Adventitious roots are plant roots that form from any nonroot tissue and are produced both
during normal development (crown roots on cereals and nodal roots on strawberry [Fragaria …

Background Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for plant growth and development but it
is often a limiting nutrient in soils. Hence, P acquisition from soil by plant roots is a subject of …

Salt stress impacts phosphorus (P) bioavailability, mobility, and its uptake by plants. Since P
is involved in many key processes in plants, salinity and P deficiency could significantly …

As an essential plant macronutrient, the low availability of phosphorus (P) in most soils
imposes serious limitation on crop production. Plants have evolved complex responsive and …

Aquaponics is known to be one of the most efficient agriculture production systems by far;
however, limited quantitative data are available on the level of efficiency, particularly in …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Excessive heavy metals (HM s) in agricultural lands cause toxicities to plants, resulting in
declines in crop productivity. Recent advances in ethylene biology research have …

Populus spp. are among the most economically important species worldwide. These trees
are used not only for wood and fiber production, but also in the rehabilitation of degraded …

Sulphur (S) assimilation leads to the formation of glutathione (GSH) and alleviation of
cadmium (Cd) stress. GSH is synthesized from its immediate metabolite cysteine, which also …

Aquaponic nutrient studies often use various types of water containing high levels of mineral
nutrients for water supply, making it difficult to accurately determine deficient nutrients …
