Sulfur is one of the essential nutrients that is required for the adequate growth and
development of plants. Sulfur is a structural component of protein disulfide bonds, amino …

Endophytic fungi and bacteria live asymptomatically within plant tissues. In recent decades,
research on endophytes has revealed that their significant role in promoting plants as …

Abiotic stresses in soil occur due to high salinity, temperature, drought, heavy metals, and
nutrients inhibit the functions of plants and cause a reduction in crop productivity. The …

Background Mg is a macronutrient for plant growth. Mg deficiency has become an important
limiting factor in intensive agricultural production, resulting in reduced crop yield and quality …

Plants face a continuous threat of abiotic stresses under the changing environment.
Because of climate change, water scarcity has been shown to be a significant environmental …

Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major concerns for agriculture and health. Accumulation of
toxic heavy metals at high concentrations in edible parts of crop plants is the primary cause …

Nutrient availability is a determining factor for crop yield and quality. While fertilization is a
major approach for improving plant nutrition, its efficacy can be limited and the production …

Main conclusion Nutrient transporter genes could be a potential candidate for improving
crop plants, with enhanced nutrient uptake leading to increased crop yield by providing …

Fulfilling the food demand of a fast-growing population is a global concern, resulting in
increased dependence of the agricultural sector on various chemical formulations for …

Globally, sulfur (S) applications to croplands result in S inputs that often exceed historical
atmospheric deposition. Sulfur is applied to crops as a fertilizer, fungicide, soil conditioner …
