Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and
sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

The contamination of the environment with toxic metals has become a worldwide problem.
Metal toxicity affects crop yields, soil biomass and fertility. Soils polluted with heavy metals …

Paddy rice (Oryza sativa) is able to accumulate high concentrations of Mn without showing
toxicity; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying Mn uptake are unknown. Here, we …

The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal toxic to humans and the accumulation of Cd in the rice grain
is a major agricultural problem, particularly in Asia. The role of the iron transporter …

In contrast with many other essential metals, the mechanisms of Mn acquisition in higher
eukaryotes are seldom studied and poorly understood. We show here that Arabidopsis …

Regulation of iron uptake is critical for plant survival. Although the activities responsible for
reduction and transport of iron at the plant root surface have been described, the genes …

Transition metals such as Fe, Cu, Mn, and Zn are essential minerals for normal plant growth
and development, although they can be toxic when present in excess. Thus, for healthy plant …

Manganese (Mn), an essential trace element, is important for plant health. In plants, Mn
serves as a cofactor in essential processes such as photosynthesis, lipid biosynthesis and …

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 …
