nutrient-sensing
Nutrient sensing is the ability of cells to detect and respond to available fuel substrates, adjusting gene expression and metabolic pathways accordingly. In plants, this process is critical for regulating growth, development, and resource allocation in response to fluctuating soil nutrient availability. Understanding how plants sense and signal nutrient status — particularly for essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and sugars — has broad implications for improving crop yields and developing more resource-efficient agricultural systems.
