Over the past 200 years emissions of toxic heavy metals have risen tremendously and
significantly exceed those from natural sources for practically all metals. Uptake and …

Proper metal transport and homeostasis are critical for the growth and development of
plants. In order to potentially fortify plants pre-harvest with essential metals in aid of human …

Only graminaceous monocots possess the Strategy II iron (Fe)‐uptake system in which Fe is
absorbed by roots as an Fe3+‐phytosiderophore. In spite of being a Strategy II plant …

Zip14 is a member of the SLC39A zinc transporter family, which is involved in zinc uptake by
cells. Up-regulation of Zip14 by IL-6 appears to contribute to the hepatic zinc accumulation …

Zinc ions are required to maintain the biological activity of numerous proteins. However,
when mislocalized or accumulated in excess, Zn2+ ions are toxic because of adventitious …

Transcriptional regulation in response to cadmium treatment was investigated in both roots
and leaves of Arabidopsis, using the whole genome CATMA microarray containing at least …

Evolution of tolerance to one or more metals enables plant species to colonise naturally
metalenriched soils. In the phylogeny of angiosperms, the evolution of high metal tolerance …

Arabidopsis halleri is a well‐known zinc (Zn) hyperaccumulator, but its status as a cadmium
(Cd) hyperaccumulator is less certain. Here, we investigated whether A. halleri can …

Nutritional micronutrient deficiencies and exposure to pollutant metals threaten human
health globally. Plant crops are at the beginning of a food chain that largely determines food …

In previous works, it has been shown, by using ethylene inhibitors and precursors, that
ethylene could participate in the regulation of the enhanced ferric reductase activity of Fe …
