Special Issue on Plant Growth and Nutrition
Plant growth and development largely depend on the
combination and concentration of mineral nutrients available in the soil.
Plants often face significant challenges in obtaining an adequate supply of
these nutrients to meet the demands of basic cellular processes due to their
relative immobility. A deficiency of any one of them may result in decreased
plant productivity and/or fertility. Symptoms of nutrient deficiency may
include stunted growth, death of plant tissue, or yellowing of the leaves
caused by a reduced production of chlorophyll, a pigment needed for
photosynthesis. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for
scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss
various new issues and developments in this area of plant growth and nutrition.
In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles that explore plant growth and nutrition. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not
limited to:
-
Morphological
variation during growth
-
Leaf
