Plant Responses to Salt Stress: Adaptive Mechanisms

José Ramón Acosta‐Motos, M.F. Ortuño, Agustina Bernal‐Vicente et al. · 23 Feb 2017

This review deals with the adaptive mechanisms that plants can implement to cope with the challenge of salt stress. Plants tolerant to NaCl implement a series of adaptations to acclimate to salinity, including morphological, physiological and biochemical changes. These changes include increases in the root/canopy ratio and in the chlorophyll content in addition to changes…

A Review of Biochar and Soil Nitrogen Dynamics

Timothy J. Clough, Leo M. Condron, Claudia Kammann et al. · 16 Apr 2013

Interest in biochar stems from its potential agronomic benefits and carbon sequestration ability. Biochar application alters soil nitrogen (N) dynamics. This review establishes emerging trends and gaps in biochar-N research. Biochar adsorption of NO3−, up to 0.6 mg g−1 biochar, occurs at pyrolysis temperatures >600 °C with amounts adsorbed dependent on feedstock and NO3− concentration.…

From Smart Farming towards Agriculture 5.0: A Review on Crop Data Management

Verónica Sáiz-Rubio, Francisco Rovira-Más · 3 Feb 2020

The information that crops offer is turned into profitable decisions only when efficiently managed. Current advances in data management are making Smart Farming grow exponentially as data have become the key element in modern agriculture to help producers with critical decision-making. Valuable advantages appear with objective information acquired through sensors with the aim of maximizing…

Potassium: A Vital Regulator of Plant Responses and Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses

Mirza Hasanuzzaman, M. H. M. Borhannuddin Bhuyan, Kamrun Nahar et al. · 12 Mar 2018

Among the plant nutrients, potassium (K) is one of the vital elements required for plant growth and physiology. Potassium is not only a constituent of the plant structure but it also has a regulatory function in several biochemical processes related to protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and enzyme activation. Several physiological processes depend on K, such…

Understanding Starch Structure: Recent Progress

Eric Bertoft · 25 Aug 2017

Starch is a major food supply for humanity. It is produced in seeds, rhizomes, roots and tubers in the form of semi-crystalline granules with unique properties for each plant. Though the size and morphology of the granules is specific for each plant species, their internal structures have remarkably similar architecture, consisting of growth rings, blocklets,…

Agronomy template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Agronomy format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Agronomy template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Agronomy use?
Agronomy uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Agronomy 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Agronomy?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Agronomy document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Agronomy template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Agronomy format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Agronomy?
Agronomy - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Agronomy PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Agronomy template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Agronomy template cost?
