Members of the ZIP gene family, a novel metal transporter family first identified in plants, are
capable of transporting a variety of cations, including cadmium, iron, manganese and zinc …

Phytoremediation is the use of plants to extract, sequester, and/or detoxify pollutants.
Phytoremediation is widely viewed as the ecologically responsible alternative to the …

This paper reviews the possibility and limits for increasing the content and bioavailability of
iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) in edible parts of staple crops, such as cereals, pulses …

Nramp genes code for a widely distributed class of proteins involved in a variety of
processes, ranging from the control of susceptibility to bacterial infection in mammalian cells …

Metal concentrations in soils are locally quite high, and are still increasing due to many
human activities, leading to elevated risk for health and the environment. Phytoremediation …

The effects of iron deficiency on the composition of the xylem sap and leaf apoplastic fluid
have been characterized in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris Monohil hybrid). pH was estimated …

In “strategy I” plants, several alterations in root physiology and morphology are induced by
Fe deficiency, although the mechanisms by which low Fe levels are translated into reactions …

Different root parts with or without increased iron-reducing activities have been studied in
iron-deficient and iron-sufficient control sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. Monohil hybrid). The …

Iron homeostasis is maintained by regulating its absorption: Under conditions of deficiency,
assimilation is enhanced but iron uptake is otherwise limited to prevent toxicity due to …

Purified plasma membrane (PM) vesicles from higher plants contain redox proteins with low‐
molecular‐mass prosthetic groups such as flavins (both FMN and FAD), hemes, metals (Cu …
