Main conclusion Identification of molecular markers and characterization of nutrient
transporters could help to improve the tolerance under abiotic and low nutrient stresses in …

Like all other organisms, plants have developed different strategies to get adapted to their
external environments. An increase in the metal ion concentration in soils, metallothioneins …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms and represents one of
the most versatile metals in biology, being involved in many ubiquitous metabolic processes …

Plants require zinc (Zn) as an essential cofactor for diverse molecular, cellular and
physiological functions. Zn is crucial for crop yield, but is one of the most limiting …

Abstract Knowledge of the uptake mechanisms, storage and tolerance to heavy metals by
plants is required for improving the phytoremediation process. Nevertheless, the transport …

Iron (Fe) deficiency chlorosis (IDC) leads to leaf yellowing, stunted growth and drastic yield
losses. Plants have been differentiated into 'Fe-efficient'(EF) if they resist to IDC and 'Fe …

The expression of R2R3-MYB transcription factor PeRAX2 increased transiently upon CdCl
2 exposure (100 μM, 48 h) in leaves and roots of Populus euphratica. We observed that …

Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are essential micronutrients required for proper development in both
humans and plants. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are the staple food for nearly half of the …

Iron is a metal micronutrient that is essential for plant growth and development.
Graminaceous and nongraminaceous plants have evolved different mechanisms to mediate …

Genetic biofortification requires knowledge on natural variation and the underlying
mechanisms of micronutrient accumulation. We therefore studied diversity in grain …
