Insufficient iron supply poses severe constraints on plants, restricting species with inefficient
iron uptake mechanisms from habitats with low iron availability and causing yield losses in …

Background Plants require iron for a large number of metabolic processes. Due to its low
availability in high pH soils, and the impaired acquisition by roots, iron chlorosis is one of the …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that affects the growth and development of plants
because it participates as a cofactor in numerous physiological and biochemical reactions …

Iron (Fe) homeostasis represents an important topic in the plant mineral nutrition, since Fe is
an essential cofactor for fundamental biochemical activities. Due to the low availability of Fe …

Iron (Fe) is an essential plant micronutrient since many cellular processes including
photosynthesis, respiration, and the scavenging of reactive oxygen species depend on …

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 …

Animals including humans are highly dependent on plants to provide many different
nutrients including iron in a useable form. Additionally, plants are used to support the growth …

A wealth of information on the different aspects of iron homeostasis in plants has been
obtained during the last decade. However, there is no clear road-map integrating the …
