Nutrient acquisition, transport and metabolism within the plant cells

nutrient interactions as well as their concentrations influence the plant growth and development. Some nutrients are mobile while others are immobile. To fulfill basic cellular requirement, the relative movement of nutrients, offers a great hurdle. Absence of any nutrient may decrease the plant yield in term of production. Chief nutrient deficiency includes stunted growth, cell death and necrosis, directly relative to photosynthesis. Changes in climatic conditions greatly affect the plant. Plants facing such type of stresses make strategies to eliminate the stresses. Macronutrients serves as building blocks as cellular components like protein and nucleic acid in large quantities. Micronutrients are needed in minute quantities mostly involved as co-factor for enzyme activity. Root provides the nutrient as absorbed from the soil, however nutrient acquisition is affected by many factors. Nutrient availability problem become high enough due to soil properties. All plants adopt the mechanism for nutrient uptake. Some plants modify their roots which increase the root surface area ultimately nutrient acquisition in increased. Plants sometime uses ion channels, transporters along with different mechanisms for nutrient transport as diffusion, and root interception as well. After obtaining the nutrients, plants have self-metabolism system, which allow it to reconstruct itself or make new products as amino acids, protein for plant production or yield.
