The ability of plants to utilize nutrients under various environmental constraints is profoundly affected by genetic and physiological factors. These essays examine problems related to plant absorption from the perspectives of plant genetics, physiology, rhizosphere microbiology, soil chemistry, and agronomy. Topics include: plant and soil factors that promote efficient utilization of nutrients; plant- soil interactions; and how plants respond to nutrients at the cellular level, on a whole-plant basis and when subjected to stress.
