Beneficial fungal communities from different habitats and their roles in plant growth promotion and soil health (2020, background): “The soluble form of phosphorus in the soil very low for plants metabolism processes which is not sufficient and its deficiency may cause slower growth and reduced leaf biomass of the plant (Avdalović et al. 2015; Cakmak 2008).”
EFFECT OF NANOSCALE ZINC OXIDE PARTICLES ON THE GERMINATION, GROWTH AND YIELD OF PEANUT (2012, background): “Zinc is required for chlorophyll production, pollen function, fertilization and germination (Kaya and Higgs, 2002; Pandey et al., 2006; Cakmak, 2008).”
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs): a promising nanoparticle in renovating plant science (2021, background): “(2011) in maize, Cakmak (2008a) in wheat and Hacisalihoglu et al (2004) in bean.”
Micronutrient enrichment mediated by plant-microbe interactions and rice cultivation practices (2016, background): “…strategies targeted at improving the mineral content in cereals grains have been only partially successful in the case of zinc in wheat (Cakmak, 2008; Cakmak et al., 2010; Rana et al., 2012a, 2012b), while iron sequestration appears to be difficult in this CONTACT Radha Prasanna…”
Managing the Nutrition of Plants and People (2012, neutral): “The major constraint to crop production on calcareous or alkaline soils is often the low phytoavailability of Fe, Zn, Mn, or Cu [10, 17, 19, 21, 27, 34].”
Approaches to reduce zinc and iron deficits in food systems (2017, background): “2 Agronomic Biofortification 407 Agronomic biofortification involves the application of micronutrient-enriched fertilizers to 408 increase their bioavailable concentrations in the edible portion of crops (Cakmak, 2008; White 409 and Broadley, 2009).”
Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015, background): “For example, wheat grain yield increases of >600 % were reported in Central Anatolia in Turkey from the mid-1990s which returned economic benefits of ca. US$ 100 million annually in the following decade (Cakmak 2004).”
The Critical Role of Zinc in Plants Facing the Drought Stress (2020, background): “The application of Zn (priming) improves the synthesis of IAA and GA3 under drought conditions [63], and the synthesis of these hormones augments plumule length and weight under drought stress.”
Stressed food – The impact of abiotic environmental stresses on crop quality (2011, background): “These interrelations are well documented and have been extensively discussed and reviewed elsewhere (Grattan and Grieve, 1999; Wissuwa et al., 2008; Cakmak, 2008).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal influence on zinc nutrition in crop plants – A meta-analysis (2014, background): “However, this is a long-term process and can only be successful when focal soil is suitable for plant cropping (Hacisalihoglu and Kochian, 2003; Cakmak, 2008).”
The Role of Nanotechnology in the Fortification of Plant Nutrients and Improvement of Crop Production (2019, background): “The progress of agronomic fortification is a function of the application methods, fertilizer type and packaging and the crop developmental stage during application [39,45].”
Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, positive): “Soil application of Zn-containing fertilizers may improve grain Zn concentrations in wheat depending on the severity of Zn deficiency in soil (Cakmak, 2008; Zou et al., 2012); for example, soil application of ZnSO4 at the CENEB experimental station in Sonora, northwest Mexico, more than doubled…”
Food system strategies for preventing micronutrient malnutrition (2013, background): “Soil application of zinc fertilizers can increase zinc levels in edible portions of food crops (Cakmak et al., 2010; Cakmak, 2008; Welch, 2001), however, foliar applications of zinc at reproductive stages of crop development are most effective at increasing the amount of zinc accumulated in the…”
Effect of different foliar zinc application at different growth stages on seed zinc concentration and its impact on seedling vigor in rice (2013, background): “…have been suggested to improve Zn concentration in rice seed, raising concentration up to 60 mg Zn kg 1 for agronomic benefits and human health, such as conventional breeding, fertilizer management, seed priming and fortification (Welch and Graham 2004; Cakmak 2008; Prom-u-thai et al. 2010).”
