Though central to our understanding of how roots perform their vital function of scavenging
water and solutes from the soil, no direct genetic evidence currently exists to support the …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal nutrient for plants. Recently, some of the genes
responsible for transition metal transport in plants have been identified; however, only …

Iron is essential for photosynthesis and is often a limiting nutrient for plant productivity.
Plants respond to conditions of iron deficiency by increasing transcript abundance of key …

Iron (Fe) is required for plant health, but it can also be toxic when present in excess.
Therefore, Fe levels must be tightly controlled. The Arabidopsis thaliana E3 ligase BRUTUS …

Abstract PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) genes encode phosphate (Pi) transporters
that play a fundamental role in Pi acquisition and remobilization in plants. Mutation of the …

The contention that quantitative profiles of biomolecules contain information about the
physiological state of the organism has motivated a variety of high-throughput molecular …

For several decades, researchers are working toward improving the “major” crops for better
adaptability and tolerance to environmental stresses. However, little or no research attention …

The recent developments in analytical techniques capable of providing information on the
identity and quantity of heteroatom-containing biomolecules are critically discussed …

Plant-based foods offer an array of nutrients that are essential for human nutrition and
promote good health. However, the major staple crops of the world are often deficient in …

The frd3 mutant of Arabidopsis exhibits constitutive expression of its iron uptake responses
and is chlorotic. These phenotypes are consistent with defects either in iron deficiency …
