The contention that quantitative profiles of biomolecules contain information about the
physiological state of the organism has motivated a variety of high-throughput molecular …

The ionome is defined as the mineral nutrient and trace element composition of an organism
and represents the inorganic component of cellular and organismal systems. Ionomics, the …

The accumulation of a given element is a complex process controlled by a network of gene
products critical for uptake, binding, transportation, and sequestration. Many of these genes …

Understanding the functional connections between genes, proteins, metabolites and mineral
ions is one of biology's greatest challenges in the postgenomic era. We describe here the …

Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral nutrient for plants, but often it is not available in sufficient
quantities to sustain optimal growth. To gain insights into adaptive processes to low Fe …

Soil is a heterogeneous reservoir of essential elements needed for plant growth and
development. Plants have evolved mechanisms to balance their nutritional needs based on …

Ionomics is the study of elemental accumulation in living systems using high-throughput
elemental profiling. This approach has been applied extensively in plants for forward and …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is counteracted by a suite of responses to ensure maintenance of vital
processes for which Fe is essential. Here, we report on transcriptional changes upon Fe …

In order to grow on soils that vary widely in chemical composition, plants have evolved
mechanisms for regulating the elemental composition of their tissues to balance the mineral …
