Summary Studies of Iron (Fe) uptake mechanisms by plant roots have focussed on Fe (III)‐
siderophores or Fe (II) transport systems. Iron deficency also enhances root secretion of …

Iron (Fe) is an essential metal nutrient for plant productivity and plant product quality (Briat et
al., 2015). Fe exists under two forms, ferrous (Fe2+) or ferric (Fe3+), and is very reactive with …

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 deficiency is one of the major agricultural problems, as 30% of the arable land of the
world is too alkaline for optimal crop production, rendering plants short of available iron …

Iron (Fe) is a major micronutrient and is required for plant growth and development.
Nongrass species have evolved a reduction‐based strategy to solubilize and take up Fe …

Root secretion of coumarin-phenolic type compounds has been recently shown to be related
to Arabidopsis thaliana tolerance to Fe deficiency at high pH. Previous studies revealed the …

Plant productivity is limited by the scarcity of the essential micronutrient iron particularly in
alkaline soils. The root secretion of phenolics has long been recognized as a component of …

Background Since the identification of the genes controlling the root acquisition of iron (Fe),
the control of inter-and intracellular distribution has become an important challenge in …

This review will discuss recent progress in understanding the many roles of transporters in
the whole-plant physiological processes that maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. These …

Although iron (Fe) is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, its low solubility
in soils restricts Fe uptake by plants. Most plant species acquire Fe by acidifying the …
