Although iron deficiency poses severe nutritional problems to crop plants, to date iron
transporters have only been characterized from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants among heavy metals,
and threatens food safety and human health by accumulating in plant sink tissues. Here, we …

Metal homeostasis is critical for the survival of living organisms, and metal transporters play
central roles in maintaining metal homeostasis in the living cells. We have investigated the …

Abstract Background and aims Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that is highly toxic to
organisms. Studies have shown that an increasing Fe supply decreases Cd accumulation in …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is counteracted by a suite of responses to ensure maintenance of vital
processes for which Fe is essential. Here, we report on transcriptional changes upon Fe …

Iron is essential for both plant growth and human health and nutrition. Knowledge of the
signaling mechanisms that communicate iron demand from shoots to roots to regulate iron …

Relatively little is known about how metals such as iron are effluxed from cells, a necessary
step for transport from the root to the shoot. Ferroportin (FPN) is the sole iron efflux …

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 …

Regulation of iron uptake is critical for plant survival. Although the activities responsible for
reduction and transport of iron at the plant root surface have been described, the genes …

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 …
