Zinc ions are required to maintain the biological activity of numerous proteins. However,
when mislocalized or accumulated in excess, Zn2+ ions are toxic because of adventitious …

To reduce cadmium (Cd) pollution of food chains, screening and breeding of low-Cd-
accumulating cultivars are the focus of much study. Two previously identified genotypes, a …

Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a cell-signaling molecule in plants. In particular, a role for NO
in the regulation of iron homeostasis and in the plant response to toxic metals has been …

Zinc is an essential mineral for a wide variety of physiological and biochemical processes.
To understand zinc transport in cereals, we identified putative zinc transporters in gene …

Root colonization by Trichoderma fungi can trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR). In
Arabidopsis, Trichoderma‐ISR relies on the transcription factor MYB72, which plays a dual …

Uptake and translocation of metal nutrients are essential processes for plant growth.
Graminaceous species release phytosiderophores that bind to Fe3+; these complexes are …

Phosphate and sulfate are essential macro-elements for plant growth and development, and
deficiencies in these mineral elements alter many metabolic functions. Nutritional constraints …

The hyperaccumulation of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) is a constitutive property of the
metallophyte Arabidopsis halleri. We therefore used Arabidopsis GeneChips to identify …

Phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are three essential elements for plant survival, and
severe deficiencies in these nutrients lead to growth retardation and crop yield reduction …

SLC39 proteins are members of the broader ZIP family of metal ion transporters found in
organisms at all phylogenetic levels. Most ZIP transporters have eight predicted …
