Iron is essential for plant cell function and more specifically for photosynthesis. Plants have
evolved highly efficient systems to take up iron from the soil. However, activating iron uptake …

Iron is essential for plants but is not readily accessible and is also potentially toxic. As plants
are a major dietary source of iron worldwide, understanding plant iron homeostasis is pivotal …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms. Paradoxically, although iron is
abundant in many soils, iron availability is very often limiting for plant growth. In addition …

Changes between iron redox states (ferrous or ferric) drive numerous reactions involving
electron transfer that are important for plants. However, there is great variaton in the …

Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

Cellular and whole organism iron homeostasis must be balanced to supply enough iron for
metabolism and to avoid excessive, toxic levels. To perform iron uptake from the …

This review will discuss recent progress in understanding the many roles of transporters in
the whole-plant physiological processes that maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. These …

Iron is an essential nutrient for plants and crucial for a variety of cellular functions. In most
soils, iron is present in large quantities, but mainly in forms that are not available to plants …

Highlights•Plants are the main source of dietary iron, yet iron uptake by plants is limited.•Iron
acquisition and translocation are subject to fine-tuned homeostatic control.•New insight on …

Iron is an essential micronutrient with numerous cellular functions, and its deficiency
represents one of the most serious problems in human nutrition worldwide. Plants have two …
