Plant roots forage the soil for iron, the concentration of which can be dramatically lower than
those needed for growth. Soil iron uptake uses the broad metal spectrum IRT1 transporter …

Iron, an essential nutrient, is not readily available to plants because of its low solubility. In
addition, iron is toxic in excess, catalyzing the formation of hydroxyl radicals that can …

Plants take up iron from the soil using the IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1)
high-affinity iron transporter at the root surface. Sophisticated regulatory mechanisms allow …

In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

In plants, the controlled absorption of soil nutrients by root epidermal cells is critical for
growth and development. IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1) is the main root …

Plants are the principal source of iron in most diets, yet iron availability often limits plant
growth. In response to iron deficiency, Arabidopsis roots induce the expression of the …

Transporters are at the centre of regulatory modules allowing optimal assimilation,
distribution or efflux of substrate molecules. The IRT 1 root metal transporter represents a …

Plants require metals for essential functions ranging from respiration to photosynthesis.
These metals also contribute to the nutritional value of plants for both humans and livestock …

Fe is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development; plants have developed
sophisticated strategies to acquire ferric Fe from the soil. Nongraminaceous plants acquire …

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 …
