Abiotic stresses and soil nutrient limitations are major environmental conditions that reduce
plant growth, productivity and quality. Plants have evolved mechanisms to perceive these …

Abstract Nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P) are essential macronutrients for
plant growth and development, and their availability affects crop yield. Compared with N, the …

Potassium, mostly as a cation (K+), together with calcium (Ca2+) are the most abundant
inorganic chemicals in plant cellular media, but they are rarely discussed. K+ is not a …

Allotetraploid cotton is an economically important natural-fiber-producing crop worldwide.
After polyploidization, Gossypium hirsutum L. evolved to produce a higher fiber yield and to …

Ionic stress is one of the most important components of salinity and is brought about by
excess Na+ accumulation, especially in the aerial parts of plants. Since Na+ interferes with …

Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg) are mineral nutrients that are required in large
quantities by plants. Both elements critically contribute to the process of photosynthesis and …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that results in considerable crop yield losses worldwide.
However, some plant genotypes show a high tolerance to soil salinity, as they manage to …

Modern agriculture relies on mineral fertilization. Unlike other major macronutrients,
potassium (K+) is not incorporated into organic matter but remains as soluble ion in the cell …

Abiotic stresses collectively are responsible for crop losses worldwide. Among various
abiotic stresses, drought and salinity are the most destructive. Different strategies have been …

Salinity is one of the major constraints to plant growth and development across the globe
that leads to the huge crop productivity loss. Salinity stress causes impairment in plant's …
