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 …

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 …

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 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 …

Iron is essential for the survival and proliferation of all plants. Higher plants have developed
two distinct strategies to acquire iron, which is only slightly soluble, from the rhizosphere: the …

Iron is an essential element for plants as well as other organisms, functioning in various
cellular processes, including respiration, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and photosynthesis …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …
