Drought stress affects plant growth and development by altering physiological and
biochemical processes resulting in reduced crop productivity. Zinc (Zn) is an essential …

Almost half of all enzymes must associate with a particular metal to function. An ambition is
to understand why each metal–protein partnership arose and how it is maintained. Metal …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

In this work, we have proposed a new formulation of a hybrid nanofertilizer (HNF) for slow
and sustainable release of nutrients into soil and water. Urea-modified hydroxyapatite was …

Zinc belongs to the mineral elements, the so-called micronutrients, which are essential for all
types of plants. Embedding itself into the enzymes associated with proteosynthesis and …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and animals. Unfortunately, deficiency of Zn
in humans has increased on a global scale. The main reason of this micronutrient deficiency …

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 …

Nutrient imbalance (ie, deficiency and toxicity) of microelements is an outstanding
environmental issue that influences each aspect of ecosystems. Although the crucial roles of …

Global population increases and climate change underscore the need for better
comprehension of how plants acquire and process nutrients such as iron. Using cell type …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses that involve most plants and Glomeromycota fungi are
integral and functional parts of plant roots. In these associations, the fungi not only colonize …
