Meta-analysis of multiple ion uptake kinetics in crop roots

This dataset collates measures of Michaelis-Menten root uptake parameters for several nutrients based on reported literature. The analysis appears in a review article by Marcus Griffiths (mdgriffiths at noble.org) and Larry York (lmyork at noble.org).

Please cite this repository and the review article if the data is reused.
