Iron (Fe) is essential for plant growth and development. However, alkaline soils, which
occupy approximately 30% of the world's arable lands, are considered Fe-limiting for plant …

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 …

Understanding the Fe deficiency response in plants is necessary for improving both plant
health and the human diet, which relies on Fe from plant sources. In this review we focus on …

Iron is a key element in plant nutrition. Iron deficiency as well as iron overload results in
serious metabolic disorders that affect photosynthesis, respiration and general plant fitness …

Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …

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 …

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 …

Summry—Iron is an essential element for plant metabolism because of its redox properties.
Its long distance and intracellular trafficking require specialized proteins and low molecular …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …
