- a fertilizer may be a single substance or a composition, and is used to provide nutrients to plants.
- a major ' breakthrough in the application of fertilizers was the development of nitrogen-based ferti lizer by Justus von Liebig around 1840. Fertilizers, however, can lead to soil acidification and. destabilizaiiou. of nutrient balance in soil, including depletion of minerals and enrichment of salt and heavy metals.
- excessive fertilizer use can lead to alteration of soil fauna as well, as contaminate surface water and ground water. Further, unhealthful substances such as nitrate may become enriched in plants and fruits.
- Plants generally maintain constant levels of essential mineral nutrients in order to attain optimal growth and development, even though such nutrients are in many soils present in low concentration or accessibility.
- plants have evolved adaptive responses, which enable them to grow also on a soil with limited amounts of one or more nutrients.
- Many nutrients have for Instance low solubility or ar distributed in an irregular manner i soil.
- plants In case of reduced nutrient availability, plants generally trigger physiological and developmental responses aimed at increasing nutrient acquisition which typically lead to a change in plant morphology and metabolism.
- plants also have adaptive mechanisms to stimulate growth in the organs that directly participate in nutrient acquisition. It is suspected that interactions between hormone and .nutrient-starvation, signaling pathways exist.

Utilizing these cut-off parameters generated 786 unregulated genes and 1232 dowtueguiated genes. While a number of different classes of genes were differentially expressed, many of the genes involved in plant defense, such as genes for signaling compounds, such as ethylene and jasmonic acid, and pathogenesis-related genes responsible for the production of proteins associated with systemic acqoired resistance, were upregulated and many photosynthetic genes were do nregulaied. Tables 3 and 4 summarize the upregulation of certain genes. Table 5 summarises the down-regulation of photosynthetic genes.

- Total .R A was extracted using ABI chemistry and cDNA was synthesized from 20 3 ⁇ 4L 1 DNase (RNase-free DNase f Invitrogen) digested total RNA. Each PCR reaction contained. 20 X prs.raer and probes for the respective TaqMan system. The samples were placed in 384-weil plates and amplified in an automated fhiorometer (ABI PRISM 7900 BTA FAST, Applied Biosystems). The manufacturer's standard amplification conditions were used. Fluorescent signals were collected during the annealing period and CT values extracted with a threshold of 0.04 and baseline values of 3-15. !.8S rR A gene was used as a positive control.

- Plants in cages AF and BG may be anomalous.
- Photosytiihetic genes are do worngulateci initially but most revert to norm by 52 hr time point.
- Plant defense genes are upregu!ated at 4 hr and even more plant defense genes, specifically PR genes, become highly expressed at 52 hr.
- Figure 6 represents (he total weight of tomato plants after 13 treatments with water or Composition .1. The column on the left shows weight of water-treated plants while the column on the right represents weight of Composition I -treated plants,
- FIG. 1 shows plants treated about, seven, or eight times with water. Only seven or so of the pictured fruit, were starting to redden at this point. In other words, none of these fruit were a bright red or fully ripe.
