Essential Minerals in Plant-Soil Systems

Essential Minerals in Plant-Soil Systems: Coordination, Signaling, and Interaction under Adverse Situations is the first book to encompass these key aspects of plant science, biochemistry, soil science and fertilizer development in a single volume. Describing the micro- and macronutrients in the plant-soil system with the help of suitable illustrations, the book connects all the pieces enabling comprehensive and connected understanding. Sections cover recent advances in the understanding of how plants coordinate the acquisition, transport, signaling, and interaction, and cross-talks between macro- and micro-nutrients in adverse environmental situations. This book is a valuable reference for those putting research into practice in addressing stress situations, as well as providing important foundational insights for further research.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of micro- and macronutrients and their interaction with phytohormones under stress conditions
• Explores proteomic and genomic research into deficiencies and toxicities in plant systems
• Highlights the use of nanobiotechnology for controlled release of micro- and macronutrients in the plant-soil systems
