During the previous decade, a new array of analytical methodologies and technologies were
introduced related to the analysis of microbial, plant and animal metabolomes (complete …

The post-genomics era has brought with it ever increasing demands to observe and
characterise variation within biological systems. This variation has been studied at the …

▪ Abstract Plant adaptation to serpentine soil has been a topic of study for many decades, yet
investigation of the genetic component of this adaptation has only recently begun. We …

Environmental pollution with metals and xenobiotics is a global problem, and the
development of phytoremediation technologies for the plant-based clean-up of …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal nutrient for plants. Recently, some of the genes
responsible for transition metal transport in plants have been identified; however, only …

Abstract PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER1 (PHT1) genes encode phosphate (Pi) transporters
that play a fundamental role in Pi acquisition and remobilization in plants. Mutation of the …

The recent developments in analytical techniques capable of providing information on the
identity and quantity of heteroatom-containing biomolecules are critically discussed …

Progress is being made in understanding the biochemical and molecular basis of nickel
(Ni)/zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulation in Thlaspi; however, the molecular signaling pathways that …

Cation levels within the cytosol are coordinated by a network of transporters. Here, we
examine the functional roles of calcium exchanger 1 (CAX1), a vacuolar H+/Ca2+ …

Background Nutrient minerals are essential yet potentially toxic, and homeostatic
mechanisms are required to regulate their intracellular levels. We describe here a genome …
