Physiological and molecular responses to magnesium nutritional imbalance in plants (2013, background): “Magnesium occupies the central position of the chlorophyll structure and between 10 and 20% of the total Mg can be bound to that pigment (Wilkinson et al. 1990), with an even higher proportion upon Mg depletion (Hawkesford et al. 2012).”
Do plants need nitrate? The mechanisms by which nitrogen form affects plants (2013, background): “Vacuoles are the main site of NO3− storage in roots and shoots (Hawkesford et al., 2012; White, 2012).”
Influence of root and leaf traits on the uptake of nutrients in cover crops (2016, background): “Few studies have quantified the uptake of K, Ca and Mg in cover crops despite their essential functions for plants, such as stomatal regulation for K, chlorophyll synthesis for Mg and root extension for Ca (Hawkesford et al. 2012).”
