Mineral nutrition affects cluster root formation and proton extrusion
In Lupinus albus, cluster roots are important for mineral extraction from nutrient-poor soils. Sas et al. (pp. 435-442) show that NH4-N nutrition stimulates cluster root formation and, under conditions of phosphorus shortage, NH4-N promotes H+ extrusion by the roots.
