Iron is an essential micronutrient with numerous cellular functions, and its deficiency
represents one of the most serious problems in human nutrition worldwide. Plants have two …

This paper reviews the possibility and limits for increasing the content and bioavailability of
iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) in edible parts of staple crops, such as cereals, pulses …

Iron deficiency is a major human nutritional problem wherever plant-based diets are
common. Using synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microtomography to directly visualize iron in …

Accumulation of heavy metals in selective locations of the environment has been attracting
considerable public attention over the last decades. The conventional clean-up technologies …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. Iron homeostasis in plants is
tightly regulated at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional level. Several bHLH …

Graminaceous plants take up iron through YS1 (yellow stripe 1) and YS1-like (YSL)
transporters using iron-chelating compounds known as mugineic acid family …

The Ib subgroup of the bHLH gene family in Arabidopsis contains four members (AtbHLH38,
AtbHLH39, AtbHLH100, and AtbHLH101). AtbHLH38 and AtbHLH39 were previously …

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 …

Iron, despite being an essential micronutrient, becomes toxic if present at high levels. As a
result, plants possess carefully regulated mechanisms to acquire iron from the soil. The ferric …

In Arabidopsis roots, the transcription factor MYB 72 plays a dual role in the onset of
rhizobacteria‐induced systemic resistance (ISR) and plant survival under conditions of …
