Chapter title: Genetic Improvements of traits for enhancing NPK Acquisition and Utilization Efficiency in Plants
Chapter number: 10
Book title:
Plant Macronutrient Use
Efficiency: Molecular and Genomic Perspectives in Crop Plants
This book presents
the latest understanding of molecular and genetic bases of macro-nutrient use
efficiency to develop strategies for improvement of overall nutrient use
efficiency and nutrient stress tolerance. Plant Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE),
represents a question of process optimization in response to the increasing
fragility of the natural resource base and threats to food grain security
across the globe. This
book is the first to present information key to the further improvement of
macro NUE, a prerequisite to reducing production costs, expanding crop acreage
into non-competitive marginal lands with low nutrient resources, and preventing
environmental contamination. Plant Macro-Nutrient Use Efficiency improves
understanding of the complex mechanisms regulating macro NUE for developing
modern varieties that are more resilient to nutrient stresses.
Identification of the potential novel genes responsible for NUE and
nutrient stress tolerance in crop plants will contribute to understanding the
molecular mechanisms of crop responses to nutrient stresses. This edited volume
is an excellent, all-inclusive reference source of knowledge with both
foundational and translational insights and is useful for those in all fields
of plant science research.
