Under iron-deficient conditions, plants induce the expression of a set of genes involved in
iron uptake and translocation. This response to iron deficiency is regulated by transcriptional …

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 …

The mechanisms of root iron uptake and the transcriptional networks that control root-level
regulation of iron uptake have been well studied, but the mechanisms by which shoots …

Iron is an essential nutrient for plants and crucial for a variety of cellular functions. In most
soils, iron is present in large quantities, but mainly in forms that are not available to plants …

In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

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 micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical
role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis …

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 …

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 …

The regulation of iron (Fe) homeostasis is critical for plant survival. Although the systems
responsible for the reduction, uptake, and translocation of Fe have been described, the …
