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 ...

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 ...

(CBS DETROIT) - Phosphorus is a mineral that plants need to grow and complete its life cycle. But in the United States, scientists say phosphorus in our soil is going to deplete within this century.

Phosphorus is a natural mineral found in fertilizer that is essential for plant growth and development, and Earth's agricultural-grade phosphorus reserves are expected to be depleted in 50 to 100 ...

Researchers have conducted a unique bioengineering experiment: phytase gene of Pantoea agglomerans (Gram-negative and known to be an opportunistic pathogen) was transplanted to Arabidopsis thaliana ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising strategy plants use to thrive when an essential nutrient—sulfur—is in short supply.

Some plant problems can be indicative of other issues besides soil quality. Soil tests can reveal and diagnose nutrient deficiency or improper pH balances. After using a soil test, you will know what ...
