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 (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 …

Iron is essential for plants but is not readily accessible and is also potentially toxic. As plants
are a major dietary source of iron worldwide, understanding plant iron homeostasis is pivotal …

Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …

Iron is a central component of electron chains and a co-factor of many vital enzymes. Only a
few bacteria are able to substitute iron with other metals, making it an essential element for …

Highlights•Plants are the main source of dietary iron, yet iron uptake by plants is limited.•Iron
acquisition and translocation are subject to fine-tuned homeostatic control.•New insight on …

Iron is an essential element for life on Earth and its shortage, or excess, in the living
organism may lead to severe health disorders. Plants serve as the primary source of dietary …

Abstract The OLIGOPEPTIDE TRANSPORTER 3 (OPT3) has recently been identified as a
component of the systemic network mediating iron (Fe) deficiency responses in Arabidopsis …

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 …

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 …
