Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for all organisms, with key catalytic and structural
functions. Zn deficiency in plants, common in alkaline soils, results in growth arrest and …

Zinc (Zn) depletion adversely affects plant growth. To avoid lethal depletion of cellular Zn,
plants have evolved mechanisms to adjust the expression of genes associated with Zn …

Mineral elements in brown rice grain play an important role in human health. In this study,
variations in the content of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth and development. In
Arabidopsis thaliana, several families of Zn transporters engaged in Zn import, export and …

The study aimed at characterizing the physiological, biochemical and molecular
mechanisms conferring differential tolerance to Fe deficiency in two contrasting Okra …

Iron homeostasis is essential for plant growth and development. Here, we report that a
mutation in GENERAL CONTROL NONREPRESSED PROTEIN5 (GCN5) impaired iron …

Abstract Knowledge of the uptake mechanisms, storage and tolerance to heavy metals by
plants is required for improving the phytoremediation process. Nevertheless, the transport …

Excessive accumulation of nickel (Ni) can be toxic to plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the
Fe2+ transporter, iron (Fe)-regulated transporter1 (IRT1), mediates Fe uptake and also …

Tobacco gene NtHb1 encoding a non-symbiotic class 1 hemoglobin was identified to confer
cadmium (Cd) tolerance in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by expressing cDNA library of …

Genes involved with many Fe functions and some Cu functions are annotated in the
Thalassiosira pseudonana Hasle et Heimdal genome. Using bioinformatics, we performed a …
