  2. Plant nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrition

    The Casparian strip, a cell wall outside the stele but in the root, prevents passive flow of water and nutrients, helping to regulate the uptake of nutrients and water. Xylem moves water and mineral ions in the plant and phloem accounts for organic molecule transportation. Water potential plays a key role in a plant's nutrient uptake. If the ...

  3. Potassium cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_cycle

    The most abundant ion in plant cells is the potassium ion. [2] Plants take up potassium for plant growth and function. A portion of potassium uptake in plants can be attributed to weathering of primary minerals, but plants can also ‘pump’ potassium from deeper soil layers to increase levels of surface K. [2] Potassium stored in plant matter can be returned to the soil during decomposition ...

  4. Plant nutrients in soil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_nutrients_in_soil

    Nutrients in the soil are taken up by the plant through its roots, and in particular its root hairs.To be taken up by a plant, a nutrient element must be located near the root surface; however, the supply of nutrients in contact with the root is rapidly depleted within a distance of ca. 2 mm. [14] There are three basic mechanisms whereby nutrient ions dissolved in the soil solution are brought ...

  5. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    Root hair cells improve plant water absorption by increasing root surface area to volume ratio which allows the root hair cell to take in more water. The large vacuole inside root hair cells makes this intake much more efficient. Root hairs are also important for nutrient uptake as they are main interface between plants and mycorrhizal fungi.

  6. Endophyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endophyte

    Some endophytes may enhance host growth and nutrient acquisition and improve the plant's ability to tolerate abiotic stresses, such as drought, and decrease biotic stresses by enhancing plant resistance to insects, pathogens and herbivores. Although endophytic bacteria and fungi are frequently studied, endophytic archaea are increasingly being ...

  7. Microbial inoculant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_inoculant

    Plants can give upwards of 5-30% of their photosynthetic production to this relationship, represented by G, in exchange for enhanced nutrient uptake, via hyphae, which extend the plants root absorptive area, giving it access to nutrients it would otherwise not be able to attain, which is represented by N and P. [5]

  8. Crop rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation

    Some studies point to increased nutrient availability from crop rotation under organic systems compared to conventional practices as organic practices are less likely to inhibit of beneficial microbes in soil organic matter, such as arbuscular mycorrhizae, which increase nutrient uptake in plants. [22]

  9. Lateral root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_root

    Lateral roots increase the surface area of a plant's root system and can be found in great abundance in several plant species. [1] In some cases, lateral roots have been found to form symbiotic relationships with rhizobia (bacteria) and mycorrhizae (fungi) found in the soil, to further increase surface area and increase nutrient uptake.
