An ideal plant for environmental cleanup can be envisioned as one with high biomass
production, combined with superior capacity for pollutant tolerance, accumulation, and/or …

Although iron is an essential nutrient for plants, its accumulation within cells can be toxic.
Plants, therefore, respond to both iron deficiency and iron excess by inducing expression of …

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 …

The world population is expanding rapidly and will likely be 10 billion by the year 2050.
Limited availability of additional arable land and water resources, and the declining trend in …

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 …

Iron deficiency is among the most common nutritional disorders in plants. To cope with low
iron supply, plants with the exception of the Gramineae increase the solubility and uptake of …

We present the cloning and characterization of an Arabidopsis gene, FRD3, involved in iron
homeostasis. Plants carrying any of the three alleles of frd3 constitutively express three …

The mutants irt1‐1 and irt1‐2 of Arabidopsis thaliana were identified among a collection of T‐
DNA‐tagged lines on the basis of a decrease in the effective quantum yield of photosystem …

Rice cDNA and genomic libraries were screened in order to clone an Fe (II) transporter
gene. A cDNA clone highly homologous to the Arabidopsis Fe (II) transporter gene IRT1 was …

IRT1 and IRT2 are members of the Arabidopsis ZIP metal transporter family that are
specifically induced by iron deprivation in roots and act as heterologous suppressors of …
