Finger millet is a nutri-rich cereal crop of poor people living in the developing countries of
Asia and Africa. Finger millet grains contain high amounts of potassium, phosphorus …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that is frequently inaccessible to plants. Rice (Oryza
sativa L.) plants employ the Combined Strategy for Fe uptake, which is composed by all …

A contemporary approach to bacterially mediated zinc (Zn) biofortification offers a new
dimension in the crop improvement program with better Zn uptake in plants to curb Zn …

We need to improve food production to feed the ever growing world population especially in
a changing climate. Nutrient deficiency in soils is one of the primary bottlenecks affecting the …

Heavy metal ions such as cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn),
molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) are considered essential/beneficial for optimal …

The increasing cadmium (Cd) pollution in paddy fields has severely threatened China's
ecological and food safety. Cultivation of low Cd accumulation varieties to reduce Cd …

Abiotic stress imposed by many factors such as: extreme water regimes, adverse
temperatures, salinity, and heavy metal contamination result in severe crop yield losses …

Low zinc (Zn) in soils reduces yield and grain Zn content. Regulation of ZRT/IRT‐like protein
(ZIP) family genes is a major mechanism in plant adaptation to low and fluctuating Zn in soil …

Micronutrients are important for the growth and development of plants, which deploy families
of transporters for their uptake and distribution. We have functionally characterized a novel …

Pearl millet is a climate-resilient, nutritious crop with low input requirements that could
provide economic returns in marginal agro-ecologies. In this study, we report quantitative …
