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 …

Phytoremediation is an eco friendly approach for remediation of contaminated soil and water
using plants. Phytoremediation is comprised of two components, one by the root colonizing …

Iron (Fe) is vital for plant growth. Plants balance the beneficial and toxic effects of this
micronutrient, and tightly control Fe uptake and allocation. Here, we review the role of the …

Summary Studies of Iron (Fe) uptake mechanisms by plant roots have focussed on Fe (III)‐
siderophores or Fe (II) transport systems. Iron deficency also enhances root secretion of …

Bioremediation is gaining a lot of importance in recent times as an alternate technology for
removal of elemental pollutants in soil and water, which require effective methods of …

Metal homeostasis is critical for the survival of living organisms, and metal transporters play
central roles in maintaining metal homeostasis in the living cells. We have investigated the …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Iron is essential for both plant growth and human health and nutrition. Knowledge of the
signaling mechanisms that communicate iron demand from shoots to roots to regulate iron …

In response to iron (Fe) deficiency, dicots employ a reduction-based mechanism by inducing
ferric-chelate reductase (FCR) at the root plasma membrane to enhance Fe uptake …
