Plants acquire phosphorus in the form of inorganic phosphate (Pi) from the soil through a tightly regulated network of transporters and signalling pathways that ensure nutrient homeostasis. This ...

Annals of Botany, Vol. 107, No. 2 (February 2011), pp. 243-254 (12 pages) • Background and Aims Improving phosphorus (P) nutrient efficiency in Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) likely to result in ...

Soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS) is one of the most devastating fungal diseases affecting soybean growers. With no in-season treatment available, SDS is responsible for significant economic losses, ...

An international team of climate scientists has found that accounting for phosphorus-deficient soils reduced projected carbon dioxide uptake by an average of 50% in the Amazon, compared to current ...

Soybeans may fix their own nitrogen, but that doesn’t mean their fertility needs are simple. A high protein content and strong yield targets can lead to soybean nutrient deficiency, requiring a ...

Phosphorus is essential for undisturbed plant growth and development. However, in many soils, phosphorus is only poorly available. One mechanism used by plants to increase phosphorus availability is ...

Strigolactones released from plant roots induce hyphal branching of symbiotic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and germination of root parasitic weeds, Striga and Orobanche spp. We already ...

Tomatoes are among some of the most popular plants to grow in a home garden. Not only is the fruit highly versatile in cooking, but there are also a ton of varieties — at least 10,000, in fact — from ...
