To acquire iron, many plant species reduce soil Fe (III) to Fe (II) by Fe (III)-chelate reductases
embedded in the plasma membrane of root epidermal cells. The reduced product is then …

Green plants require a continuous supply of Fe as they grow, because Fe does not not move
from the older to the newer leaves. Soils do not lack Fe per se, but it may not be available to …

The root accumulation and excretion of riboflavin (Rbfl) and Rbfl derivatives have been
studied in the model legume species Medicago truncatula, grown in hydroponics in two …

The characteristics of flavin excretion from iron-deficient sugar-beet roots have been studied.
Roots from iron-deficient sugar beet excreted flavins when plants were allowed to decrease …

Phenolic compounds are frequently reported to be the main components of root exudates in
response to iron (Fe) deficiency in Strategy I plants, but relatively little is known about their …

Fe2+ transport in plants has been difficult to quantify because of the inability to control Fe2+
activity in aerated solutions and non-specific binding of Fe to cell walls. In this study, a Fe (II) …

Soils contain siderophores produced by bacteria and fungi; however, the role of
siderophores in Fe nutrition of plants is uncertain. The Strategy I plant cucumber (Cucumis …

Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral that has low solubility in alkaline soils, where its deficiency
results in chlorosis. Whether low Fe supply and alkaline pH stress are equivalent is unclear …

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 …

Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust essential for plant growth.
However, if overloaded, Fe becomes toxic for plants as a highly reactive Fenton catalyst …
