Editorial: Nutrient Interactions in Plants

Abstract

This research topic updates recent results showing the interactions between different essential mineral nutrients, and also between essential and non-essential ones. It includes 5 reviews, 1 minireview, 1 perspective and 13 original research articles. Regarding the reviews; one is related to interactions between two essential elements, such as S and Fe (Astolfi et al., 2021); two are related to interactions between macro-and micro-nutrients (Kumar et al., 2021;Xie et al., 2021); and the other two ones are dedicated to interactions between beneficial elements, Si and Se, and essential ones (Zhou et al., 2020;Pavlovic et al., 2021). The minireview deals with the interaction between N and P in the development of root nodules and cluster roots (Pueyo et al., 2021). The perspective article is devoted to describing new approaches based on computational analysis to predict interactions between proteins related to different elements (Di Silvestre et al., 2021). Finally, within the 13 original research articles; eight of them are about the interactions between two or three elements, including non-essential ones, such as Fe-Cu, Si-Fe, Fe-P-S, S-N, Fe-Zn, K-Na, or P-Zn (Chaiwong et al. 2020;Yu et al., 2020;Bernal and Kramer, 2021;García et al., 2021a;Jian et al., 2021;Kakei et al., 2021;Li et al., 2021;Suman et al., 2021); four of them are about the interactions among many nutrients, such as ionome-macronutrients,
