Research in the area of active oxygen species is going through a reflective stage. There is
controversy whether multiple mechanisms for active oxygen species generation exist and …

In nongraminaceous plants, the FeII-transporter gene and ferric-chelate reductase gene
have been cloned from Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas FeIII-reductase has not. In …

Dissolved-iron availability plays a critical role in controlling phytoplankton growth in the
oceans,. The dissolved iron is overwhelmingly (∼ 99%) bound to organic ligands with a very …

Despite the importance of metal ions in several catalytic functions, there has been, until
recently, little molecular information available on the mechanisms whereby metal ions are …

Recent information gained from genetic and biochemical studies of iron transport in yeast,
coupled with the identification of specific mutations causing iron uptake disorders in mice …

Modern agricultural practices require the massive application of fertilizer to soils worldwide.
In the USA alone, millions of tons of fertilizer are applied to agricultural soils each year. The …

Major advances in our understanding of the transport of inorganic nutrient ions across plant
plasma membranes have emerged from recent studies on the control of the dominant H+ …

Substractive screening of a root cDNA library from Fe deficient maize plants led to isolate a
Sus1 cDNA encoding for sucrose synthase (UDP-glucose: D fructose 2-α-D-glycosyl …
