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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

Leaf growth in monocotyledons results from the flux of newly born cells out of the division zone and into the adjacent elongation-only zone, where cells reach their final length. We used a kinematic ...

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 ...

Recently, a research team led by Yan Junhua, a researcher at the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found that trees in subtropical forests are more capable of coping ...

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 ...

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 ...

How does the average gardener tell by looking at a plant if it has a nutrient deficiency or a disease? The main three nutrients used in large amounts by our plants are N-P-K. N being nitrogen, P being ...

Phosphorus Deficiency VITAMIN D deficiency in most species of animals leads to the development of rickets, and Kay's suggestion that the real cause of experimental rickets produced under conditions of ...
