The generally low bioavailability of iron in aerobic soil systems forced plants to evolve
sophisticated genetic strategies to improve the acquisition of iron from sparingly soluble and …

Iron is essential for plants but is not readily accessible and is also potentially toxic. As plants
are a major dietary source of iron worldwide, understanding plant iron homeostasis is pivotal …

Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

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 …

Due to its ability to accept and donate electrons, iron (Fe) is an indispensable component of
electron transport chains and a cofactor in many vital enzymes. Except for waterlogged …

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients for plant growth and development. It
functions as the enzyme cofactor or component of electron transport chains in various vital …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …

Changes between iron redox states (ferrous or ferric) drive numerous reactions involving
electron transfer that are important for plants. However, there is great variaton in the …

Iron is essential for plant cell function and more specifically for photosynthesis. Plants have
evolved highly efficient systems to take up iron from the soil. However, activating iron uptake …

Background Iron is an essential element for plants and abundantly present in most mineral
soils. The mobility of iron is, however, dependent on the redox potential and hydrogen …
