It is increasingly realized that homoploid hybrid speciation (HHS), which involves no change
in chromosome number, is an important mechanism of speciation. HHS will likely increase in …

Proper metal transport and homeostasis are critical for the growth and development of
plants. In order to potentially fortify plants pre-harvest with essential metals in aid of human …

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 …

The transition metal copper (Cu) is essential for all living organisms but is toxic when
present in excess. To identify Cu deficiency responses comprehensively, we conducted …

Nramp genes code for a widely distributed class of proteins involved in a variety of
processes, ranging from the control of susceptibility to bacterial infection in mammalian cells …

The lignocellulosic biorefinery industry can be an important contributor to achieving global
carbon net zero goals. However, low valorization of the waste lignin severely limits the …

Cellular and whole organism iron homeostasis must be balanced to supply enough iron for
metabolism and to avoid excessive, toxic levels. To perform iron uptake from the …

We identified 18 putative yellow stripe 1 (YS1)‐like genes (OsYSLs) in the rice genome that
exhibited 36–76% sequence similarity to maize iron (III)‐phytosiderophore transporter YS1 …

The micronutrient zinc has an essential role in physiological and metabolic processes in
plants as a cofactor or structural element in 300 catalytic and noncatalytic proteins, but it is …

Plants release a multitude of organic compounds into the rhizosphere, some of which are
flavonoids. These products of secondary metabolism are mainly studied for their antioxidant …
