In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

Plants take up iron from the soil using the IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1)
high-affinity iron transporter at the root surface. Sophisticated regulatory mechanisms allow …

Iron is an essential nutrient for all organisms but toxic when present in excess.
Consequently, plants carefully regulate their iron uptake, dependent on the FRO2 ferric …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Under low iron
conditions, Arabidopsis plants take up soil iron using the root iron transporter IRT1. In …

Plant roots forage the soil for iron, the concentration of which can be dramatically lower than
those needed for growth. Soil iron uptake uses the broad metal spectrum IRT1 transporter …

In plants, the controlled absorption of soil nutrients by root epidermal cells is critical for
growth and development. IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1) is the main root …

SUMMARY IRON‐REGULATED TRANSPORTER1 (IRT1) is the root high‐affinity ferrous
iron (Fe) uptake system and indispensable for the completion of the life cycle of Arabidopsis …

Fe is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development; plants have developed
sophisticated strategies to acquire ferric Fe from the soil. Nongraminaceous plants acquire …

Iron, an essential nutrient, is not readily available to plants because of its low solubility. In
addition, iron is toxic in excess, catalyzing the formation of hydroxyl radicals that can …

Iron is an essential micronutrient but is toxic if accumulated at high levels. Thus, iron uptake
and distribution in plants are controlled by precise regulatory mechanisms. IRON …
