TL;DR: New discoveries of the development and functioning of root clusters in both monocotyledonous and dicotylingonous families are essential to produce new crops with superior P-acquisition traits.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the molecular mechanisms that the plant uses for accessing these soil N pools and briefly includes consideration of the root N assimilatory pathways that exist in the plant are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide background on the main processes that affect plant and soil N isotope ratios and how they are affected by mycorrhizal fungi, climate, and microbial processing.

TL;DR: The link between nutrient mass flow and transpiration, nutrient availability, particularly that of NO3−, partially regulates plant water flux and the consequent trade-off between water and nutrient flux has important implications for understanding plant distributions, for production of water use-efficient crops and for understanding the consequences of global-change-linked CO2 suppression.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide background on the main processes that affect plant and soil N isotope ratios and how they are affected by mycorrhizal fungi, climate, and microbial processing.
