Understanding the regulation of key genes involved in plant iron acquisition is of crucial
importance for breeding of micronutrient-enriched crops. The basic helix-loop-helix protein …

Iron is essential for plants and plays critical roles in important processes such as
photosynthesis and respiration. While our understanding of molecular mechanisms involved …

The expansion of nanotechnology raises concerns about the consequences of
nanomaterials in plants. Here, the effects of nanoparticles (NPs; 100–500 mg/kg) on …

Plant growth under abiotic stress conditions significantly enhances intracellular generation
of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative status of plant cells is directly affected by the …

Main conclusion Nutrient transporter genes could be a potential candidate for improving
crop plants, with enhanced nutrient uptake leading to increased crop yield by providing …

Iron is an essential element for all eukaryotes. The facile ability of iron to gain and lose
electrons permits its participation in a wide variety of oxidation-reduction reactions. Further …

Drought stress is expected to increase in intensity, frequency, and duration in many parts of
the world, with potential negative impacts on plant growth and productivity. The plants have …

Abstract Background Nicotiana sylvestris and Nicotiana tomentosiformis are members of the
Solanaceae family that includes tomato, potato, eggplant and pepper. These two Nicotiana …

Allelochemicals and other metabolites released by plant roots play important roles in
rhizosphere signalling, plant defence and responses to abiotic stresses. Plants use a variety …

The identification of Fe transport forms in plant xylem sap is crucial to the understanding of
long-distance Fe transport processes in plants. Previous studies have proposed that Fe may …
