Many plants associate with endophytic microbes that improve root phosphorus (P) uptake.
Understanding the interactions between roots and endophytes can enable efforts to improve …

Plant growth and productivity is negatively affected by several abiotic stresses. To overcome
the antagonistic effect of a changing environment, plants have evolved several modifications …

Aluminium (Al) toxicity is the single most important contributing factor constraining crop
productivity in acidic soils. Hydroponics based screening of three rice genotypes, a tolerant …

Phosphorus (P), an essential macronutrient, is a prerequisite for various plant-growth
mechanisms including root establishment/development, early/late vegetative stage …

Plants experience low phosphorus (P) and high iron (Fe) levels in acidic lowland soils that
lead to reduced crop productivity. A better understanding of the relationship between these …

Background Grafting is widely used in horticulture and rootstocks are known to modify scion
growth and adaptation to soil conditions. However, the role of scion genotype in regulating …

Background Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are macronutrients essential for crop growth
and productivity. In cultivated fields, N and P levels are rarely sufficient, contributing to the …

Roots are the only organ system to uptake water and nutrients from the soil. The root system
is crucial for plants to survive and adapt to environmental stresses. Therefore, the root …

Translating biological knowledge from Arabidopsis to crop species is important to advance
agriculture and secure food production in the face of dwindling fertilizer resources and biotic …

The availability of phosphorus (P) affects productivity of rice. Under acidic soil conditions
(pH< 5.5), P is rapidly immobilized in the soil. Several transcription factors play an important …
