Plant nutrition for sustainable development and global health. (2010, background): “…efficiency can be achieved agronomically, through improved fertilizer-management practices, and/ or genetically, by cultivating crops that acquire and/or utilize mineral elements more effectively (Hirel et al., 2007; Rengel and Damon, 2008; White and Hammond, 2008; Fageria, 2009; Ju et al., 2009).”
Shoot growth potential drives N uptake in maize plants and correlates with root growth in the soil (2010, background): “It is known that N drives plant dry matter production through the control of both the leaf area index and the amount of N per unit of leaf area (Hirel et al., 2007).”
