Background and Aims Potassium (K) is a key macronutrient that regulates diverse metabolic processes, yet K-deficiency is widespread in tropical crops because the underlying soils are inherently low in natural fertility. However, the high price of K-fertilizer constrains application rates, challenging efforts to sustain productivity within economically and environmentally sustainable systems. Increasing evidence indicate that K can be partially substituted by sodium (Na), which represents a cost-effective strategy to alleviate K deficiency while enhancing soil fertility and plant resilience. This review explores the physiological mechanisms, crop-specific potential, environmental implications, and agronomic feasibility of partially replacing K with Na, highlighting promising pathways toward more sustainable fertilization strategies in tropical agriculture. Outcomes Partial substitution of K with Na can provide physiological, environmental, and economic benefits, particularly in tropical systems. Sodium can partially sustain turgor, stomatal function, and enzyme activity in K-deficient plants, supporting photosynthesis and biomass accumulation, especially under drought. Economically, sodium chloride (NaCl) is more affordable than potassium chloride (KCl), while environmentally, its use can reduce reliance on non-renewable K sources and valorize industrial residues. Nonetheless, species-specific tolerance limits its broad application and risk of soil salinization is still uncertain under tropical conditions. Field experiments are therefore essential to establish safe, crop-specific guidelines, supporting sustainable and cost-effective fertilization strategies. Final Consideration Recognizing Na as a context-dependent co-nutrient allows for innovative, crop-specific fertilization strategies that improve agronomic efficiency, reduce costs, and promote environmental sustainability. However, the risks of soil salinization and variability in species tolerance underscore the need for long-term field studies to define safe application thresholds.

Background The holobiont" refers to the plant and its associated microbiota that are pivotal to the plant's health, fitness, and survival. By in vitro culturing and functionally characterizing members of the plant microbiota, their specific roles in influencing plant responses to environmental changes can be determined and manipulated to foster sustainable agriculture and ecosystem management. Aims The review presents a comprehensive survey and current updates on culturomics of plant microbiota within the overall context of: a) the importance of understanding the plant holobiont composition and functioning; b) the necessity to in vitro track down and explore environmental microbiomes, entailing the plant microbiome with its myriad composition and spatio-temporal dynamics and mobility in various plant species, compartments and growth stages and c) the recent developments of the emerging in-situ similis cultivation strategies grounded on plant-based culture media. Conclusions The review highlights the urgent need to explore in vitro cultivation strategies built on compatible plant-based culture media, and the transformative role of omics technologies in refining these strategies. By bridging fundamental research and cultivation-based applications, such tools offer a gateway towards more sustainable and efficient in vitro cultivation systems, leading to a deeper understanding and potential manipulation of the plant holobiont.

Background and aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play an essential role in plant nutrition in both natural and agro-ecosystems. However, how soil nutrient availability simultaneously regulates AMF diversity and contribution to plant nutrition, requires more attention. We hypothesised that the interaction between the availability of key soil macronutrients phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) regulates AMF contribution to wheat nutrition and that nutrient availability will simultaneously influence AMF community composition. Methods We tested this using a unique long-term P fertilisation trial, sampling wheat roots across two growing seasons. Expression of wheat mycorrhizal nutrient transporters was quantified by RT-qPCR and AMF communities were characterised by ITS2 metabarcoding. Complementary experiments under controlled conditions examined how the interaction between P and N regulates arbuscular mycorrhizal function in plant nutrition. Results Field-grown wheat showed campaign-specific effects of P fertilisation on AMF colonisation and nutrient transporter expression, which coincided with shifts in plant N status. Controlled experiments confirmed that colonisation depends on the limitation of either P or N, but that the regulation of peri-arbuscular phosphate, ammonium and nitrate transporters depended on the limiting nutrient. AMF communities also responded to soil P availability, with the genus Funneliformis consistently dominating under high P conditions. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that P and N availability jointly shape root AMF communities and regulate their nutritive function in wheat. The combination of community profiling and mycorrhizal molecular markers provides a valuable approach for understanding the AMF contribution to plant nutrition across agroecosystems, and therefore can be used for optimising agroecological practices.

Background Cereal crops dominate arable agriculture and underpin global food supply. Cereal grain yield is closely related to crop nitrogen (N) uptake. However, excessive inputs of N fertiliser in cereal production systems can have negative environmental consequences and represent high financial risk for farmers. Scope This review explores opportunities to reduce the current reliance of the global staples, wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) and maize ( Zea mays ), on N fertiliser by diversifying cereal-based cropping systems with legumes, in both time (rotation) and space (via intercropping). Increases in cereal grain yield and N uptake resulting from the inclusion of legumes in wheat and maize cropping systems are examined across different geographic regions. The role of grain legumes and legume-based forages, cover-crops and green manures is described for the 15 countries responsible for producing > 70% of the world’s wheat and maize and consuming > 80% of the global applications of N fertiliser to these two cereals. Estimates of the contributions from biological N 2 fixation and legume residual N to cropping soils are provided for individual countries and compared to the N offtake in wheat and maize grain and the quantities of N fertiliser applied. The potential increased area of legumes required for the returns of legume N to match the current amounts of N removed in grain or supplied as fertiliser is assessed for each country, and the strategies that might be necessary to encourage farmers to increase the frequency of legumes used in cereal-dominated cropping systems are outlined.
