Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms. Paradoxically, although iron is
abundant in many soils, iron availability is very often limiting for plant growth. In addition …

In plants, Cd causes perturbation of root metal uptake and is known to interfere with the
metal translocation to the shoot. The most significant effect is the strongly reduced transport …

Zinc deficiency is a common problem leading to severe decreases in grain yield and has
detrimental effects on nutritional quality in cereals. Wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp …

To understand how plants from the Fabaceae family maintain zinc (Zn) homeostasis, we
have characterized the kinetics of three Zn transporting proteins from the ZIP family of …

The effects of the heavy metal Cd in Malus xiaojinensis were investigated using hydroponic
