Iron (Fe) is abundant in soils but generally poorly soluble. Plants, with the exception of
Graminaceae, take up Fe using an Fe (III)‐chelate reductase coupled to an Fe (II) …

The biological significance of iron (Fe) is based on its propensity to oscillate between the
ferric and ferrous forms, a transition that also affects its phyto-availability in soils. With the …

Plant iron (Fe) uptake relies to a large extent on the capacity of cells to control and extract Fe
pools safely conserved in extracytoplasmic environments such as the apoplast and …

Despite the usually high abundance of iron (Fe) in soils, the low solubility of Fe-bearing
minerals restricts the available Fe pools in most aerobic soils to levels that are far below …

With the exception of the grasses, plants rely on a reduction-based iron (Fe) uptake system
that is compromised by high soil pH, leading to severe chlorosis and reduced yield in crop …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Fe availability
affects crops' productivity and the quality of their derived products and thus human nutrition …

Reduction of Fe (III) to Fe (II) by Fe (III) chelate reductase is thought to be an obligatory step
in iron uptake as well as the primary factor in making iron available for absorption by all …

The generally low bioavailability of iron in aerobic soil systems forced plants to evolve
sophisticated genetic strategies to improve the acquisition of iron from sparingly soluble and …

In nongraminaceous plants, the FeII-transporter gene and ferric-chelate reductase gene
have been cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas FeIII-reductase has not. In …

Iron deficiency chlorosis remains an economically important plant nutrition problem after
decades of research. However, basic research on Fe nutrition has provided much …
