Iron is an essential but poorly bioavailable nutrient because of its low solubility, especially in
alkaline soils. Here, we describe the discovery of a previously undescribed redox-active …

Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral element that governs the composition of natural plant
communities and limits crop yield in agricultural ecosystems due to its extremely low …

Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral nutrient and an important factor for the composition of
natural plant communities. Low Fe availability in aerated soils with neutral or alkaline pH …

The generally low bioavailability of iron in aerobic soil systems forced plants to evolve
sophisticated genetic strategies to improve the acquisition of iron from sparingly soluble and …

Fe deficiency compromises both human health and plant productivity. Thus, it is important to
understand plant Fe acquisition strategies for the development of crop plants which are …

Plant productivity is limited by the scarcity of the essential micronutrient iron particularly in
alkaline soils. The root secretion of phenolics has long been recognized as a component of …

Iron is one of the most abundant elements in soils, but its low phytoavailability at high pH
restricts plant communities on alkaline soils to taxa that have evolved efficient strategies to …

In “strategy I” plants, several alterations in root physiology and morphology are induced by
Fe deficiency, although the mechanisms by which low Fe levels are translated into reactions …

Iron is an essential nutrient for plants and crucial for a variety of cellular functions. In most
soils, iron is present in large quantities, but mainly in forms that are not available to plants …

Despite the usually high abundance of iron (Fe) in soils, the low solubility of Fe-bearing
minerals restricts the available Fe pools in most aerobic soils to levels that are far below …
