Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …

Iron, despite being an essential micronutrient, becomes toxic if present at high levels. As a
result, plants possess carefully regulated mechanisms to acquire iron from the soil. The ferric …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Microbes detoxify arsenate by reduction and efflux of arsenite. Plants have a high capacity to
reduce arsenate, but arsenic efflux has not been reported.• Tomato (Lycopersicon …

Iron is an essential and commonly limited nutrient for plants. To increase the uptake of iron
during times of low iron supply, plants, except the grasses, activate a set of physiological …

Taking into account the strong iron competition in the rhizosphere and the high affinity of
pyoverdines for Fe (III), these molecules are expected to interfere with the iron nutrition of …

In chloroplasts, the transition metals iron and copper play an essential role in photosynthetic
electron transport and act as cofactors for superoxide dismutases. Iron is essential for …

Micronutrient malnutrition is a major health problem in China. According to a national
nutritional survey, approximately 24% of all Chinese children suffer from a serious deficiency …

Phenolic compounds are frequently reported to be the main components of root exudates in
response to iron (Fe) deficiency in Strategy I plants, but relatively little is known about their …
