Macronutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S) are important in plant growth. Plant growth is the result of a complicated set of activities, including the use of solar energy, CO2, H2O, and soil nutrients. Investigating the physiology and genetics of nutrition utilization efficiency at the single-cell, molecular, and tissue levels. Plants need signaling transporters to adapt to ever-changing environmental circumstances to allow for fast and appropriate response modifications. A change in root structure is one of the most frequent reactions to nutrient-limited soils. This alteration may increase the overall surface area of the root, thus improving nutrient absorption, or it may promote root system growth, allowing access to new nutrient sources. In contemporary agriculture, increasing crop production is reliant on fertilizers; yet, even if more fertilizer is used, only a modest quantity is used where macronutrients are necessary for plant growth. In agronomy, nutrient utilization efficiency, absorption, and harvest product concentration follow a mass balance between total plant nutrient content at harvest and crop yield, suggesting a long period of growth in nutrient utilization efficiency, absorption, and harvest product concentration. Increased nutrient absorption efficiency in plant crops is critical for a healthy bio-ecosystem.
