CURRENT STAGE OF PLANT NUTRITION MOLECULAR GENETICS

In the past decade, techniques for understanding molecular mechanisms of nutrient-stress induced expression and for identifying and cloning genes underlying plant nutrition uptake and use efficiency provide the means for increasing understanding the molecular genetic background about plant nutrition. An attempt is made to discuss the current stage about strategies used to identify the genes tor nutrient transporters, regulatory mechanisms induced by nutrient-stress and molecular murker techniques used in plant nutrition molecular genetics.
