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 is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms. Paradoxically, although iron is
abundant in many soils, iron availability is very often limiting for plant growth. In addition …

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 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 (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that affects the growth and development of plants
because it participates as a cofactor in numerous physiological and biochemical reactions …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Iron is an essential element for life on Earth and its shortage, or excess, in the living
organism may lead to severe health disorders. Plants serve as the primary source of dietary …

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 …
