Iron and zinc are 2 important nutrients in the human diet. Their deficiencies in humans lead
to a variety of health‐related problems. Iron and zinc biofortification of cereals is considered …

The metal chelator nicotianamine promotes the bioavailability of Fe and reduces cellular Fe
toxicity. For breeding Fe-efficient crops, we need to explore the fundamental impact of …

In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

Despite the high abundance of iron (Fe) in most earth's soils, Fe is the major limiting factor
for plant growth and development due to its low bioavailability. With an increasing …

In recent years knowledge in regard to phytoremediation for removal of metals from
wastewater has been extensively developed. Despite advance treatment methods; different …

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 …

Interactions between zinc (Zn) and phosphate (Pi) nutrition in plants have long been
recognized, but little information is available on their molecular bases and biological …

Macro-or micro-nutrients are essential for crop yield and nutritional quality. In this work,
selenium engineering nanomaterials (Se ENMs, 0.5 mg‧ kg− 1) significantly increased the …

Rice among other cereals is key to food security for at least half the world population. Since
the 1960s, productivity of rice has largely been improved during the G reen R evolution …

The heavy metal copper (Cu) is an essential microelement required for normal plant growth
and development, but it inhibits primary root growth when in excess. The mechanism …
