Editorial: Mineral nutrition and plant stress tolerance

In conclusion, the articles included in this Research Topic contribute to our understanding of the efficacy of various nutrients in alleviating diverse stresses and plant nutrient relations, while illustrating the need for more such research. A better understanding of different nutrient elements could lead to more rational fertilizing practices, avoiding interactions that could contribute to the unbalanced mineral nutrition of plants for maximizing crop yield. This knowledge is also necessary to obtain more efficient genotypes in the acquisition of different nutrients.
