Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …

Regulation of iron uptake is critical for plant survival. Although the activities responsible for
reduction and transport of iron at the plant root surface have been described, the genes …

Iron is essential for plants but is not readily accessible and is also potentially toxic. As plants
are a major dietary source of iron worldwide, understanding plant iron homeostasis is pivotal …

Iron is an essential nutrient for plants, but excess iron is toxic due to its catalytic role in the
formation of hydroxyl radicals. Thus, iron uptake is highly regulated and induced only under …

Iron is an essential micronutrient but is toxic if accumulated at high levels. Thus, iron uptake
and distribution in plants are controlled by precise regulatory mechanisms. IRON …

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 uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

Iron is essential for plant cell function and more specifically for photosynthesis. Plants have
evolved highly efficient systems to take up iron from the soil. However, activating iron uptake …

Highlights•Plants are the main source of dietary iron, yet iron uptake by plants is limited.•Iron
acquisition and translocation are subject to fine-tuned homeostatic control.•New insight on …

Plants display a number of biochemical and developmental responses to low iron
availability in order to increase iron uptake from the soil. The ferric‐chelate reductase FRO2 …
