Maize is better when it’s hairy
Root hairs help maize take up phosphorus from the soil.
Ancient barley landraces adapted to marginal soils are tolerant to manganese limitation
Locally adapted landraces provide unique genetic resources to raise grain yields in poorly-fertile marginal soils. Schmidt et al. evaluate the tolerance to manganese deficiency for a population of genetically diverse...

Crop acquisition of phosphorus, iron and zinc in intercropping (Review)
Phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are essential elements for plant growth and development but their availability in soil is often limited. Xue et al. review the processes regulating the acquisition of these...
