Soil communities are diverse taxonomically and functionally. This ecosystem experiences
highly complex networks of interactions, but may also present functionally independent …

Iron (Fe) is essential for life because of its role in protein cofactors. Photosynthesis, in
particular photosynthetic electron transport, has a very high demand for Fe cofactors. Fe is …

Almost half of all enzymes must associate with a particular metal to function. An ambition is
to understand why each metal–protein partnership arose and how it is maintained. Metal …

In plant sciences, the prodigious significance of micronutrient is unavoidable since plant
relies primarily on micronutrient as it has profound influence on array of plant activities …

Iron is essential to virtually all organisms, but poses problems of toxicity and poor solubility.
Bacteria have evolved various mechanisms to counter the problems imposed by their iron …

Plants are the principal source of iron in most diets, yet iron availability often limits plant
growth. In response to iron deficiency, Arabidopsis roots induce the expression of the …

The use of the essential element zinc (Zn) in the biochemistry of land plants is widespread,
and thus comparable to that in other eukaryotes. Plants have evolved the ability to adjust to …

Diatoms are unicellular algae with plastids acquired by secondary endosymbiosis. They are
responsible for∼ 20% of global carbon fixation. We report the 34 million–base pair draft …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …
