Background Nutrient minerals are essential yet potentially toxic, and homeostatic
mechanisms are required to regulate their intracellular levels. We describe here a genome …

Plant tolerance of serpentine soils is potentially an excellent model for studying the genetics
of adaptive variation in natural populations.• A large-scale viability screen of Arabidopsis …

Zn pollution has triggered evolution for adaptive Zn tolerance in populations of Suilloid
ectomycorrhizal fungi. The objectives of this study were to determine differential …

In the vicinity of non-ferrous industrial plants, the soil is often moderately to heavily
contaminated with heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Cu, Pb). This historical pollution has resulted in the …

In recent years new technologies have allowed gene expression, protein and metabolite
profiles in different tissues and developmental stages to be monitored. This is an emerging …

The genome is the foundation on which all life is built. Living systems are supported and
sustained by the genome through the action of the transcriptome, proteome, metabolome …

Cation levels within the cytosol are coordinated by a network of transporters. Here, we
examine the functional roles of calcium exchanger 1 (CAX1), a vacuolar H+/Ca2+ …
