Plants Nutrients, 2nd Volume
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of Volume I of “Plants Nutrients” and considering the great interest in this research topic, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II. The study of the manner in which plants obtain and use nutrients, namely plant nutrition, is central for feeding the ever-growing global population, improving modern agricultural practices, environmental protection, as well as understanding plant ecological interactions in natural ecosystems. Recently, there has been an upsurge in research and a renewed interest in the field of plant nutrition as contemporary experimental approaches are being used to examine the mechanisms underlying plant nutrient transport and utilization. This has been driven by the availability of new powerful tools, including molecular techniques and complete genome sequences, and the development of model plant systems and sophisticated tools to study plant physiology. The present Topic aims to host and gather relevant high-quality papers concerned with multiple different aspects of the biology of plant nutrients, such as: uptake mechanisms; short- and long-distance transport; functions in planta; source–sink relationships; yield and yield quality; relationships with plant diseases and pests; diagnosis of deficiency and toxicity; as well as plant–soil relationships, including rhizosphere chemistry; symbiotic interactions; and the involvement of carbon fluxes in terrestrial agricultural and forestry ecosystems.
