The micronutrient zinc is essential for all living organisms, but it is toxic at high
concentrations. Here, to understand the effects of excess zinc on plant cells, we performed …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is a major constraint for plant growth and affects the quality of edible
plant parts. To investigate the mechanisms underlying Fe homeostasis in plants, Fe …

One of the major limitations to crop growth on acid soils is the prevalence of soluble
aluminum ions (Al 3+). Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has been reported to be highly Al tolerant; …

Arabidopsis halleri ssp. halleri (accession Langelsheim) is a naturally selected zinc (Zn)‐
and cadmium‐tolerant Zn hyperaccumulator. This plant differs strikingly from its close …

Seedlings of Citrus sinensis were fertilized with boron (B)-deficient (0 μM H 3 BO 3) or-
sufficient (10 μM H 3 BO 3) nutrient solution for 15 weeks. Thereafter, iTRAQ analysis was …

Iron ranks fourth in the sequence of abundance of the elements in the Earth's crust, but its
low bio-availability often limits plant growth. When present in suboptimal amounts, the …

Hyperaccumulator/hypertolerant plant species have evolved strategies allowing them to
grow in metal-contaminated soils, where they accumulate high concentrations of heavy …

Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are essential micronutrients required for proper development in both
humans and plants. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are the staple food for nearly half of the …

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is known to both accumulate and tolerate high levels of
heavy metals from polluted soils. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the effect of …

Zinc salts occurring in soils can exert an osmotic stress toward plants. However, being zinc a
heavy metal, some more specific effects on plant metabolisms can be forecast. In this work …
