The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a valuable model for studying
metal metabolism in a photosynthetic background. A search of the Chlamydomonas …

Virtually all organisms on earth depend on transition metals for survival. Iron and copper are
particularly important because they participate in vital electron transfer reactions, and are …

The importance of zinc in organisms is clearly established, and mechanisms involved in zinc
acquisition by plants have recently received increased interest. In this report, the …

We have identified a homolog of the mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptor genes in
Arabidopsis thaliana (AtGluR2). This gene was found to alter Ca2+ utilization when …

Mineral-accumulating compartments in developing seeds of Arabidopsis were studied using
high-pressure-frozen/freeze-substituted samples. Developing seeds store minerals in three …

Metals and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are two environmental stressors that can cause
damage to plants. These two types of stressors often impact simultaneously on plants and …

It has been well documented that phytohormones plays a pivotal role in combating ill effects
of various abiotic stresses in crop plants. Out of various phytohormones, worldwide …

Different root parts with or without increased iron-reducing activities have been studied in
iron-deficient and iron-sufficient control sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. Monohil hybrid). The …

A full-genome microarray of the (oxy) photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.
PCC 6803 was used to identify genes that were transcriptionally regulated by growth in iron …

Essential and non-essential trace metals are capable of causing toxicity to organisms above
a threshold concentration. Extensive research has assessed the behaviour of trace metals in …
