Plant growth performance under a stressful environment, notably in the agriculture field, is
directly correlated with the rapid growth of the human population, which triggers the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) are produced in all aerobic life forms
under both physiological and adverse conditions. Unregulated ROS/NO generation causes …

In this study, Cucurbita pepo L., one of the most cultivated, consumed and economically
important crop worldwide, was used as model plant to test the toxic effects of the four most …

Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are considered as potential agents for agriculture as
fertilizers, growth enhancers and pesticides. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

Nutrient imbalance (ie, deficiency and toxicity) of microelements is an outstanding
environmental issue that influences each aspect of ecosystems. Although the crucial roles of …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …

Iron (Fe) is one of the essential micronutrients required by both plants and animals. In
humans, Fe deficiency causes anemia, the most prevalent nutritional disorder. Most people …

Although abundant in soils, iron (Fe) is poorly bioavailable for plants. Improving Fe uptake in
crops, enabling them to grow in Fe-depleted soils, has become a major focal interest. The …

Iron (Fe) is essential for life because of its role in protein cofactors. Photosynthesis, in
particular photosynthetic electron transport, has a very high demand for Fe cofactors. Fe is …
