Almost all plants live in close symbiosis with so-called mycorrhizal fungi – an important symbiosis for absorbing essential nutrients. In their new study, a team led by ecologist Christina Kaiser from ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford, Nanjing Agricultural University, and Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have finally identified the master ...

Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to optimize the exploration of light and soil resources from their environments. One of the most prominent adaptive responses is the developmental ...

In a strain of cyanobacteria lacking nitrogen fixation ability, structures called cyanoglobules increased in size and number when exposed to nitrogen deficiency.

As with most tasks on the farm, timing is everything. But in addressing a nitrogen deficiency in corn, when is only half the equation — the other major consideration is how and which nitrogen ...

1. When N rates trend higher, more sulfur deficiencies are reported. Initially, sulfur deficiencies were primarily noted ...

AMES, Iowa – Newly published research from Iowa State University agronomists shows that the application of nitrogen fertilizer at optimum levels to corn and soybeans is required to maintain carbon in ...

Various factors contribute to a successful crop, but the significance of carbon and nitrogen cannot be overstated. The balance of carbon and nitrogen plays crucial roles in plant development and ...

Corn gives farmers three big chances during the growing season to turn nitrogen (N) into higher yields — but most fertilizer programs only partially hit the key windows, according to University of ...
