Zinc Uptake by Plants as Affected by Fertilization with Zn Sulfate, Phosphorus Availability, and Soil Properties

Vegetative growth and chemical composition of tomato plants as affected by different types of salt stress and zinc fertilization

Potato yield and tuber quality as affected by gibberellic acid and zinc sulfate

Abstract Obtaining high potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber yield through increased number and weight of quality tubers is important for farmers while the quality factors are of interest for food processing industries. Potato processing industries require high quality tubers having the highest possible dry matter, starch and protein contents. A two-year field study was carried out as a factoria...

Growth and chemical composition of three pistachio cultivars as affected by soil salinity and boron fertilization

Phosphorus Uptake by Plants: From Soil to Cell

P is an important plant macronutrient, making up about 0.2% of a plant’s dry weight. It is a component of key molecules such as nucleic acids, phospholipids, and ATP, and, consequently, plants cannot grow without a reliable supply of this nutrient. Pi is also involved in controlling key enzyme reactions and in the regulation of metabolic pathways (Theodorou and Plaxton, 1993). After N, P is the...
