Though iron is a rich mineral in soil, its bioavailability for many crops is low. Considering the
vital role of iron in all organisms, iron deficiency (ID) is one of the most widespread and …

Iron biofortification of crops, like wheat, is an attractive strategy to cope with iron deficiency
causing hidden hunger. Several recent studies dissected the genetics controlling iron …

Although iron (Fe) is present abundantly on the earth, its bioavailability to plants is low and
is dependent on the soil's redox potential and soil pH. In aerobic or alkaline soil, Fe is …

Abstract Purpose Iron (Fe) deficiency seriously affects crop growth and yield. This study
investigated whether and how an endophytic isolate, strain Bacillus sp. WR12, alleviates Fe …

Iron is critical for life and poses the living system with a number of challenges. Its low
solubility in the environment is of major concern which tends to create problems during its …

Microbial-assisted biofortification attracted much attention recently due to its sustainable and
eco-friendly nature for improving nutrient content in wheat. An endophytic strain Bacillus …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth involved in vital processes like
photosynthesis, cellular respiration, chlorophyll synthesis, etc. Although Fe is abundant in …

Beneficial bacteria that colonize plant roots and enhance plant growth by a wide variety of
mechanisms of interaction with the biological, physical, and chemical properties of soil are …

The quest for plant growth promotory bacteria that can help in sustainable agriculture has
increased in the recent years owing to increasing cost of fertilizers. In the present study, the …

Siderophores comprise a high-affinity system for the uptake of iron from the environment,
present in many microorganisms. This system involves the biosynthesis, exudation in the …
