The societal cost of micronutrient deficiency (MND) or the “hidden hunger” is in millions of
dollars/year, reducing the GDP of some countries by as much as 11%. Zn is an important …

Organic acids (OAs) are central to cellular metabolism. Many plant stress responses involve
the exudation of OAs at the root–soil interface, which can improve soil mineral acquisition …

Plant population density is an important variable in agronomy and forestry and offers an
experimental way to better understand plant–plant competition. We made a meta‐analysis of …

The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Plants require the proper balance of zinc (Zn) for normal growth and optimum yield. Interest
in Zn has risen in the last decade because Zn deficiency stress is extensive in many areas …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the important abiotic factors limiting rice
productivity worldwide and also a widespread nutritional disorder affecting human health …

Challenges to food security under conditions of global change are forcing us to increase
global crop production. Focussing on belowground plant traits, especially root exudation …

In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral
nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most …

In the last decade cheaper and faster sequencing methods have resulted in an enormous
increase in genomic data. High throughput genoty**, genoty** by sequencing and …
