New routes for plant iron mining

C Curie, S Mari - New Phytologist, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Plant iron (Fe) uptake relies to a large extent on the capacity of cells to control and extract Fe
pools safely conserved in extracytoplasmic environments such as the apoplast and …

Mechanism of iron uptake by plants

JC Brown - Plant, Cell & Environment, 1978 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

FIT, a regulatory hub for iron deficiency and stress signaling in roots, and FIT-dependent and-independent gene signatures

B Schwarz, P Bauer - Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020 - academic.oup.com
Iron (Fe) is vital for plant growth. Plants balance the beneficial and toxic effects of this
micronutrient, and tightly control Fe uptake and allocation. Here, we review the role of the …

Overexpression of the FRO2 ferric chelate reductase confers tolerance to growth on low iron and uncovers posttranscriptional control

EL Connolly, NH Campbell, N Grotz… - Plant …, 2003 - academic.oup.com
The Arabidopsis FRO2 gene encodes the low-iron-inducible ferric chelate reductase
responsible for reduction of iron at the root surface. Here, we report that FRO2 and IRT1, the …

Posttranslational regulation of the iron deficiency basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor FIT is affected by iron and nitric oxide

J Meiser, S Lingam, P Bauer - Plant Physiology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Understanding iron (Fe) sensing and regulation is important for targeting key genes for
important nutritional traits like Fe content. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor FIT …

Expression profiling of the Arabidopsis ferric chelate reductase (FRO) gene family reveals differential regulation by iron and copper

I Mukherjee, NH Campbell, JS Ash, EL Connolly - Planta, 2006 - Springer
The Arabidopsis FRO2 gene encodes the iron deficiency-inducible ferric chelate reductase
responsible for reduction of iron at the root surface; subsequent transport of iron across the …

A soil bacterium regulates plant acquisition of iron via deficiency‐inducible mechanisms

H Zhang, Y Sun, X Xie, MS Kim, SE Dowd… - The Plant …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Despite the abundance of iron in nature, it is the third most limiting nutrient for plants due to
its minimal solubility in most soils. While certain soil microbes produce chelating agents that …

OPT3 is a component of the iron-signaling network between leaves and roots and misregulation of OPT3 leads to an over-accumulation of cadmium in seeds

DG Mendoza-Cózatl, Q Xie, GZ Akmakjian, TO Jobe… - Molecular plant, 2014 - cell.com
Plants and seeds are the main dietary sources of zinc, iron, manganese, and copper, but are
also the main entry point for toxic elements such as cadmium into the food chain. We report …

Limiting nutrients: an old problem with new solutions?

N Grotz, ML Guerinot - Current opinion in plant biology, 2002 - Elsevier
Iron and phosphorus are essential minerals for both humans and plants. Advances in our
understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the mobilization, transport and …

Iron uptake mechanisms in plants: functions of the FRO family of ferric reductases

J Jeong, EL Connolly - Plant science, 2009 - Elsevier
Iron is essential for plants and plays critical roles in important processes such as
photosynthesis and respiration. While our understanding of molecular mechanisms involved …
