Abstract Background Iron (Fe) deficiency in crops is a worldwide agricultural problem. Plants
have evolved several strategies to enhance Fe acquisition, but increasing evidence has …

Iron (Fe) is one of the most abundant elements on earth, but its limited bioavailability poses
a major constraint for agriculture and constitutes a serious problem in human health. Due to …

Iron deficiency is a nutritional problem in plants and reduces crop productivity, quality and
yield. With the goal of improving the iron (Fe) storage properties of plants, we have …

MicroRNAs are recognized as important post-transcriptional regulators in plants. Information
about the roles of miRNAs in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an agronomically …

Siderophores are specific ferric iron chelators synthesized by virtually all microorganisms in
response to iron deficiency. We have previously shown that they promote infection by the …

Dicotyledonous plants growing under limited iron availability initiate a response resulting in
the solubilization, reduction, and uptake of soil iron. The protein factors responsible for these …

Iron and copper are essential for plants and are important for the function of a number of
protein complexes involved in photosynthesis and respiration. As the molecular …

Lupinus albus serves as model plant for root‐induced mobilization of sparingly soluble soil
phosphates via the formation of cluster‐roots (CRs) that mediate secretion of protons, citrate …

Up-regulation of the gene that encodes intracellular heme oxygenase 1 (HO1) benefits
plants under cadmium (Cd 2+) stress; however, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear …

Background Iron is an essential micronutrient for all living things, required in plants for
photosynthesis, respiration and metabolism. A lack of bioavailable iron in soil leads to iron …
