Background Plant ZIP genes represent an important transporter family involved in metal
transport. Evidence has implied that some ZIPs may contribute to plant Cd uptake, but a …

The positive effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the zinc (Zn) nutrition of a
number of cereal species has been demonstrated, but for Hordeum vulgare (barley), this has …

Iron (Fe), an essential element for plant growth, is abundant in soil but with low
bioavailability. Thus, plants developed specialized mechanisms to sequester the element …

Over three billion people suffer from various health issues due to the low supply of zinc (Zn)
and iron (Fe) in their food. Low supply of micronutrients is the main cause of malnutrition and …

Cadmium is an environmental pollutant with high toxicity that negatively affects plant growth
and development. To understand the molecular mechanisms of plant response to cadmium …

Iron and zinc are essential in plant and human nutrition. Iron deficiency has been one of the
causes of human mortality, especially in developing countries with high rice consumption …

Background Root-to-shoot translocation of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) depends on the
concentrations of both metals in the medium. A previous study on tobacco (Nicotiana …

Abstract Aims Iron (Fe) deficiency in soil is a continuing problem for soybean (Glycine max
L.) production, partly as a result of continuing climate change. This study elucidates how …

Background Zinc is one of the essential trace elements in plants. There are few studies on
the phytohormone to rescue the toxicity of excessive zinc to plants. The aim of this research …

Background and aims Colonisation of roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can
increase plant biomass and nutrition under soil zinc (Zn) deficiency and toxicity conditions …
