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 …

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 …

Physiological properties involved in divergent cadmium (Cd) accumulation among rice
genotypes were characterized using the indica cultivar 'Habataki'(high Cd in grains) and the …

Uptake and translocation of micronutrients are essential for plant growth. These
micronutrients are also important food components. We generated transgenic rice plants …

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 …

Multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters represent a large family in
plants, but their functions are poorly understood. Here, we report the function of a rice (Oryza …

The effects of Cd have been investigated in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants grown
in a controlled environment in hydroponics, using Cd concentrations of 10 and 100μM …

ZIP transporters (ZRT, IRT‐like proteins) are involved in the transport of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn)
and other divalent metal cations. The expression of IRT3, a ZIP transporter, is higher in the …

The ability of metal hyperaccumulating plants to tolerate and accumulate heavy metals
results from adaptations of metal homeostasis. NRAMP metal transporters were found to be …

Iron is an essential nutrient for all organisms but toxic when present in excess.
Consequently, plants carefully regulate their iron uptake, dependent on the FRO2 ferric …
