Iron is essential for the survival and proliferation of all plants. Higher plants have developed
two distinct strategies to acquire iron, which is only slightly soluble, from the rhizosphere: the …

Plants develop responses to abiotic stresses, like Fe deficiency. Similarly, plants also
develop responses to cope with biotic stresses provoked by biological agents, like …

Plant roots forage the soil for minerals whose concentrations can be orders of magnitude
away from those required for plant cell function. Selective uptake in multicellular organisms …

Although the roles of ethylene in plant response to salinity and other stresses have been
extensively studied, there are still some obscure points left to be clarified. Generally, in …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Abiotic stresses are an increasing challenge to crop production all over the world. These
stresses include high and low temperatures, salinity, flooding, drought, nutrient limitation …

Iron (Fe) is an indispensable micronutrient for plant growth and development. The regulation
of Fe homeostasis in plants is complex and involves a number of transcription factors. Here …

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 …

Despite the abundance of iron in nature, it is the third most limiting nutrient for plants due to
its minimal solubility in most soils. While certain soil microbes produce chelating agents that …

In plants, the excess of several heavy metals mimics iron (Fe) deficiency-induced chlorosis,
indicating a disturbance in Fe homeostasis. To examine the level at which heavy metals …
