Abstract

Nutrients are essential contributors to various physiological processes, and their deficiency upregulates signaling molecules that help in the uptake of nutrients at the root level. The ethylene biosynthesis genes are upregulated under nutrient-deficient conditions, influencing roots morphological traits and other physiological parameters to adapt to the stress conditions. The present chapter focuses on ethylene crosstalk with different nutrients to regulate their homeostasis and plants tolerance under their deprivation or excess. In addition, auxin and nitric oxide biosyntheses are also induced under nutrient deficiency and help mediate root architecture traits in crosstalks with ethylene to promote plant growth under nutrient-limiting conditions.
