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 …

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 …

Metal cation homeostasis is essential for plant nutrition and resistance to toxic heavy metals.
Many plant metal transporters remain to be identified at the molecular level. In the present …

Heavy metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Ni2+ and Co2+ are essential
micronutrients for plant metabolism but when present in excess, these, and non-essential …

Metal transport from the cytosol to the vacuole is thought to be an important component of
ion tolerance and of a plant's potential for use in phytoremediation. The Arabidopsis …

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 …

All cells regulate their intracellular zinc levels. In yeast, zinc uptake is mediated by Zrt1p and
Zrt2p, which belong to the ZIP family of metal transporters. Under zinc limitation, ZRT1 and …

Zinc is an essential nutrient for humans, yet we know little about how this metal ion is taken
up by mammalian cells. In this report, we describe the characterization of hZip2, a human …

Abstract Most indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in higher plants is conjugated to amino acids,
sugars, or peptides, and these conjugates are implicated in regulating the concentration of …

Deletion of YFH1 inSaccharomyces cerevisiae leads to a loss of respiratory competence
due to excessive mitochondrial iron accumulation. A suppressor screen identified a gene …
