nutrient-signaling

1 article

Nutrient-signaling describes the molecular pathways through which plants detect and respond to nutrient availability in their environment. This is crucial for plant biology because it regulates nutrient uptake, allocation, and metabolic processes essential for growth and development. Unraveling these signaling mechanisms is key to developing crops with improved nutrient use efficiency and resilience to nutrient-limited soils.
