In plants, the excess of several heavy metals mimics iron (Fe) deficiency-induced chlorosis,
indicating a disturbance in Fe homeostasis. To examine the level at which heavy metals …

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 …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Iron is an essential nutrient for plants, yet it often limits plant growth. On the contrary,
overaccumulation of iron within plant cells leads to oxidative stress. As a consequence, iron …

The Ib subgroup of the bHLH gene family in Arabidopsis contains four members (AtbHLH38,
AtbHLH39, AtbHLH100, and AtbHLH101). AtbHLH38 and AtbHLH39 were previously …

Iron (Fe) homeostasis is essential for both plant development and human nutrition. The
maintenance of Fe homeostasis involves a complex network in which Fe signaling nodes …

Plants display a number of biochemical and developmental responses to low iron
availability in order to increase iron uptake from the soil. The ferric‐chelate reductase FRO2 …

Iron uptake and metabolism are tightly regulated in both plants and animals. In Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana), BRUTUS (BTS), which contains three hemerythrin (HHE) domains …

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 …

To avoid zinc (Zn) toxicity, plants have developed a Zn homeostasis mechanism to cope with
Zn excess in the surrounding soil. In this report, we uncovered the difference of a cross …
