In a pot experiment, effects of N fertilizer application on the concentrations of Fe, Mn, Cu and
Zn in shoot of rice and the quality of brown rice were studied. In the treatments with N …

A field investigation was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2010-11 and 2011-12 in
Vertisol to study the response of wheat yield, nutrient uptake, protein content and effect on …

Mineral nutrition is one of the key factors determining plant productivity. In plants, metal
homeostasis is achieved through the functioning of a complex system governing metal …

More than 60% of the world population suffers from iron deficiency, and over 30% of the
global population has zinc deficiency. Micronutrient deficiency leads to compromised health …

The toxicity of Cu is related to its redox species, but the differential toxicity of Cu (II) and Cu
(I) remains unknown. In the present study, we developed a novel protocol to simultaneously …

Ferrous iron toxicity is a mineral disorder frequently occurring under waterlogged soils
where rice is cultivated. To decipher the main metabolic pathways involved in rice response …

Micronutrients are essentially as important as macronutrients to have better growth, yield
and quality in plants. There requirement by plants is in trace amounts. Boron, iron, copper …

In nature, iron (Fe) occurs in abundance and ranks fourth among all elements on Earth's
surface. Still, its availability to plants is reduced, once this element is in the form of hydrated …

Zinc (Zn) is essential for normal plant growth and development. The Zn‐regulated
transporter, iron‐regulated transporter (IRT)‐like protein (ZIP) family members are involved …

We investigated the uptake and distribution of zinc (Zn) either applied to the roots or to the
leaves in rice during grain development. Plants of two aerobic rice cultivars were grown in a …
