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 …

Metalloproteins and metal sensing

KJ Waldron, JC Rutherford, D Ford, NJ Robinson - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Almost half of all enzymes must associate with a particular metal to function. An ambition is
to understand why each metal–protein partnership arose and how it is maintained. Metal …

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 …

Copper homeostasis

JL Burkhead, KA Gogolin Reynolds… - New …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Copper (Cu) is a cofactor in proteins that are involved in electron transfer reactions and is an
essential micronutrient for plants. Copper delivery is accomplished by the concerted action …

Facing the challenges of Cu, Fe and Zn homeostasis in plants

CM Palmer, ML Guerinot - Nature chemical biology, 2009 - nature.com
Plants have recently moved into the spotlight owing to the growing realization that the world
needs solutions to energy and food production that are sustainable and environmentally …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Rice OsYSL15 is an iron-regulated iron (III)-deoxymugineic acid transporter expressed in the roots and is essential for iron uptake in early growth of the …

H Inoue, T Kobayashi, T Nozoye, M Takahashi… - Journal of Biological …, 2009 - ASBMB
Graminaceous plants take up iron through YS1 (yellow stripe 1) and YS1-like (YSL)
transporters using iron-chelating compounds known as mugineic acid family …

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 …
