Bioremediation is gaining a lot of importance in recent times as an alternate technology for
removal of elemental pollutants in soil and water, which require effective methods of …

Silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe) are the three most abundant minerals in soil;
however, their effects on plants differ because they are beneficial, toxic, and essential to …

Summary The Arabidopsis Yellow Stripe 1‐Like (YSL) proteins have been identified by
homology with the maize (Zea mays) Yellow Stripe 1 (YS1) transporter which is responsible …

AtbHLH29 of Arabidopsis, encoding a bHLH protein, reveals a high similarity to the tomato
FER which is proposed as a transcriptional regulator involved in controlling the iron …

Rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) utilize the iron chelators known as mugineic acid family
phytosiderophores (MAs) to acquire iron from the rhizosphere. Synthesis of MAs and uptake …

Mammalian nonheme iron absorption requires reduction of dietary iron for uptake by the
divalent metal ion transport system in the intestine. This was thought to be mediated by …

Although Arabidopsis thaliana does not produce phytosiderophores (PS) under Fe
deficiency, it contains eight homologs of the metal–PS/metal–nicotianamine (NA) transporter …

Iron deficiency is probably the most widespread micronutrient deficiency in humans. Since
rice is the main staple food for more than half of the global population, improving the iron …

It has been known for 160 years that iron is essential for plant growth. Its deficiency occurs
especially, but not only, in calcareous soils and it limits crop production in large parts (> …

Iron chelate reductase is required for iron acquisition from soil and for metabolism in plants.
In the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana there are eight genes classified into the iron chelate …
