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 …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants, playing catalytic or structural roles in
enzymes, transcription factors, ribosomes, and membranes. In humans, Zn deficiency is the …

Iron (Fe) is an essential metal nutrient for plant productivity and plant product quality (Briat et
al., 2015). Fe exists under two forms, ferrous (Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+), and is very reactive with …

Heavy metal homeostasis is maintained in plant cells by specialized transporters which
compartmentalize or efflux metal ions, maintaining cytosolic concentrations within a narrow …

Iron deficiency is a nutritional problem in plants and reduces crop productivity, quality and
yield. With the goal of improving the iron (Fe) storage properties of plants, we have …

Rice is a staple food for over half of the world's population, but it contains only low amounts
of bioavailable micronutrients for human nutrition. Consequently, micronutrient deficiency is …

The transcription of genes involved in iron acquisition in plants is induced under iron
deficiency, but our understanding of iron sensors and signals remains limited. Iron …

Some plants can hyperaccumulate metal ions that are toxic to virtually all other organisms at
low dosages. This trait could be used to clean up metal-contaminated soils. Moreover, the …

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 …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that is frequently inaccessible to plants. Rice (Oryza
sativa L.) plants employ the Combined Strategy for Fe uptake, which is composed by all …
