Nutrients use efficiency
Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) is a critical measure that quantifies the effectiveness with which plants utilize applied nutrients to produce biomass or yield. It’s an important concept in modern agriculture, aiming to optimize nutrient management and reduce environmental impacts. NUE involves both efficient uptake of nutrients from the soil and efficient utilization of those nutrients […]

Lignin formation in plants
Lignin is a complex and rigid polymer found in the cell walls of plants, particularly in the secondary cell walls of specialized plant cells. It provides strength, rigidity, and support to the plant, allowing it to stand upright and resist mechanical stress. Lignin is one of the main components that make plant cell walls tough […]

Plant nutrients involved in cell wall
The cell wall of plant cells is a complex structure primarily composed of carbohydrates, including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and various other compounds. While cell wall formation is not directly regulated by specific plant nutrients, several essential nutrients indirectly influence the structure and function of the cell wall through their involvement in cell metabolism and […]
