Phytoremediation is an eco friendly approach for remediation of contaminated soil and water
using plants. Phytoremediation is comprised of two components, one by the root colonizing …

The NADPH oxidase is an electron transport chain in “professional” phagocytic cells that
transfers electrons from NADPH in the cytoplasm, across the wall of the phagocytic vacuole …

Diatoms are unicellular algae with plastids acquired by secondary endosymbiosis. They are
responsible for∼ 20% of global carbon fixation. We report the 34 million–base pair draft …

Regulation of iron uptake is critical for plant survival. Although the activities responsible for
reduction and transport of iron at the plant root surface have been described, the genes …

We identified 18 putative yellow stripe 1 (YS1)‐like genes (OsYSLs) in the rice genome that
exhibited 36–76% sequence similarity to maize iron (III)‐phytosiderophore transporter YS1 …

Arabidopsis halleri ssp. halleri (accession Langelsheim) is a naturally selected zinc (Zn)‐
and cadmium‐tolerant Zn hyperaccumulator. This plant differs strikingly from its close …

Summary The Yellow Stripe‐Like (YSL) family of proteins has been identified based on
sequence similarity to maize Yellow Stripe1 (YS1), the transporter responsible for the …

Iron mobilization responses are induced by low iron supply at transcriptional level. In tomato,
the basic helix-loop-helix gene FER is required for induction of iron mobilization. Using …

The frd3 mutant of Arabidopsis exhibits constitutive expression of its iron uptake responses
and is chlorotic. These phenotypes are consistent with defects either in iron deficiency …

To broaden our understanding of micronutrient metal transport in plants, we have identified
cDNAs for six new metal transporters in the model legume Medicago truncatula. All of the …
