Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets–iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine

PJ White, MR Broadley - New phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Iron uptake and transport in plants: the good, the bad, and the ionome

J Morrissey, ML Guerinot - Chemical reviews, 2009 - ACS Publications
Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Dissecting iron deficiency‐induced proton extrusion in Arabidopsis roots

S Santi, W Schmidt - New Phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Here, we have analysed the H+‐ATPase‐mediated extrusion of protons across the plasma
membrane (PM) of rhizodermic cells, a process that is inducible by iron (Fe) deficiency and …

A soil bacterium regulates plant acquisition of iron via deficiency‐inducible mechanisms

H Zhang, Y Sun, X Xie, MS Kim, SE Dowd… - The Plant …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Despite the abundance of iron in nature, it is the third most limiting nutrient for plants due to
its minimal solubility in most soils. While certain soil microbes produce chelating agents that …

The Ferroportin Metal Efflux Proteins Function in Iron and Cobalt Homeostasis in Arabidopsis

J Morrissey, IR Baxter, J Lee, L Li, B Lahner… - The Plant …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Relatively little is known about how metals such as iron are effluxed from cells, a necessary
step for transport from the root to the shoot. Ferroportin (FPN) is the sole iron efflux …

Nitric oxide contributes to cadmium toxicity in Arabidopsis by promoting cadmium accumulation in roots and by up-regulating genes related to iron uptake

A Besson-Bard, A Gravot, P Richaud, P Auroy… - Plant …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a cell-signaling molecule in plants. In particular, a role for NO
in the regulation of iron homeostasis and in the plant response to toxic metals has been …
