Poor iron (F e) availability in soil represents one of the most important limiting factors of
agricultural production and is closely linked to physical, chemical and biological processes …

The tropical coffee crop has been predicted to be threatened by future climate changes and
global warming. However, the real biological effects of such changes remain unknown …

Summary Studies of Iron (Fe) uptake mechanisms by plant roots have focussed on Fe (III)‐
siderophores or Fe (II) transport systems. Iron deficency also enhances root secretion of …

The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial
electron transport chain (miETC) are central features of carbon metabolism and …

Abstract Kochia sieversiana (Pall.) CAM, a naturally alkali-resistant halophyte, was chosen
as the test organism for our research. The seedlings of K. sieversiana were treated with …

The effects of Cd have been investigated in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants grown
in a controlled environment in hydroponics, using Cd concentrations of 10 and 100μM …

Iron deficiency is among the most common nutritional disorders in plants. To cope with low
iron supply, plants with the exception of the Gramineae increase the solubility and uptake of …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC), NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME), and pyruvate,
phosphate dikinase (PPDK) participate in the process of concentrating CO2 in C4 …
