Iron deficiency is one of the major agricultural problems, as 30% of the arable land of the
world is too alkaline for optimal crop production, rendering plants short of available iron …

Under low iron (Fe) availability, plants transcriptionally induce various genes responsible for
Fe uptake and translocation to obtain adequate amounts of Fe. Although transcription factors …

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 …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis is a major nutritional disorder for crops growing in calcareous
soils, and causes decreases in vegetative growth as well as marked yield and quality losses …

Iron is an essential nutrient for virtually all organisms. The IRT1 (iron-regulated transporter)
gene of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, encoding a probable Fe (II) transporter, was cloned …

The Arabidopsis FRO2 gene encodes the low-iron-inducible ferric chelate reductase
responsible for reduction of iron at the root surface. Here, we report that FRO2 and IRT1, the …

Although iron is an essential nutrient for plants, its accumulation within cells can be toxic.
Plants, therefore, respond to both iron deficiency and iron excess by inducing expression of …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for human nutrition. Given that plants represent a major
dietary source of Fe worldwide, it is crucial to understand plant Fe homeostasis fully. A major …

Transition metals such as Iron (Fe) and Copper (Cu) are essential for plant cell
development. At the same time, due their capability to generate hydroxyl radicals they can …
