Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; however, the exact mechanisms
underlying this effect are not yet completely understood. Siderophore-expressing …

Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; therefore, plants growing in arid
soils face two major challenges for poor crop productivity: high salinity and Fe deficiency …

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 …

Abstract Background Iron (Fe) deficiency in crops is a worldwide agricultural problem. Plants
have evolved several strategies to enhance Fe acquisition, but increasing evidence has …

Abstract Background and Aims Soil microbes have been demonstrated to play an important
role in favouring plant iron (Fe) uptake under Fe-limiting conditions. However, the …

Iron is one of the essential elements for a proper plant development. Providing plants with
an accessible form of iron is crucial when it is scant or unavailable in soils. Chemical …

Siderophores comprise a high-affinity system for the uptake of iron from the environment,
present in many microorganisms. This system involves the biosynthesis, exudation in the …

Amongst the imperative microelements in soil environment iron is usually copious for all life
forms. Despite of its abundance, availability is limited due to low solubility of the dominant Fe …

Recent decades have witnessed increased agricultural production to match the global
demand for food fueled by population increase. Conventional agricultural practices are …

Increasing the iron content of plant products and iron assimilability represents a major issue
for human nutrition and health. This is also a major challenge because iron is not readily …
