Mechanism of Mineral Absorption in Plants (Plant Physiology Short Notes)
Plants absorb minerals as ions Mineral Absorption in Plants: Plants absorb minerals from the soil in the form of inorganic ions. Earlier it was thought that the absorption of minerals takes place in plants along with the absorption of water. In fact, the process of mineral absorption and water absorption […]
