Potassium is important for plant growth and crop yield. However, the effects of potassium (K+) deficiency on silage maize biomass yield and how maize shoot feedback mechanisms of K+ deficiency regulating whole plant growth remains largely unknown. Here, the study aims to explore the maize growth and transcriptional and metabolic responses of shoots to long-term potassium deficiency.
