When rabbits are simultaneous injected with arsenite and selenite or mercuric chloride and
selenite, compounds with As–Se and Hg–Se bonds are formed in the bloodstream. The …

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 …

Ion signals are critical to regulating polarized growth in many cell types, including pollen in
plants and neurons in animals. Genetic evidence presented here indicates that pollen tube …

Molybdenum (Mo) is a trace element essential for living organisms, however no molybdate
transporter has been identified in eukaryotes. Here, we report the identification of a …

The advent of high-throughput phenotyping technologies has created a deluge of
information that is difficult to deal with without the appropriate data management tools …

Abstract Background The Ni hyperaccumulator Thlaspi goesingense is tolerant to Ni≅ Zn,≅
Co and slightly resistant to> Cd. We previously observed that elevated glutathione, driven by …

Abstract Vacuolar localized Ca2+/H+ exchangers such as Arabidopsis thaliana ca tion ex
changer 1 (CAX1) play important roles in Ca2+ homeostasis. When expressed in yeast …

Background Metal hyperaccumulators, including various Thlaspi species, constitutively
express the putative metal transporter MTP1 to high levels in shoots. Here we present data …

This work focuses on phytochelatins (PCs) in plants chronically exposed to low or moderate
metal concentrations in soil, which commonly occurs in natural environments. The original …
