During their life, plants have to cope with a variety of abiotic stresses. Cadmium is highly
toxic to plants, water soluble and therefore promptly adsorbed in tissues and its presence …

The handling of trace elements by plants plays a fundamental role in food security and
safety. Therefore, there is a need to understand the mechanisms that govern metal ion …

Plants strictly regulate the uptake and distribution of Zn, which is essential for plant growth
and development. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana PCR2 is essential for Zn …

Abstract The ZIP (Z RT-, I RT-like P rotein) protein ZupT from Escherichia coli is a transporter
with a broad substrate range. Phenotypic and transport analysis showed that ZupT, in …

Salt stress leads to a stress response, called the unfolded protein response (UPR), in the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER). UPR is also induced in a wide range of organisms by zinc …

In previous research, iron-deficiency symptoms in peanut (Arachis hypgaea) were alleviated
during anthesis by intercropping with maize. This benefit was associated with increased …

Leishmania amazonensis LIT1 was identified based on homology with IRT1, a ferrous iron
transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana. Δlit1L. amazonensis are defective in intracellular …

Nineteen common rice cultivars in Japan (12 japonica and 7 indica) were grown on a basal
media (basal) or that with either of excess but harmless amounts of Fe, Cu, Zn, or Cd (xsFe …

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of cadmium and zinc interactions
on the accumulation and tissue distribution of cadmium and zinc in tomato (Lycopersicon …

One-third of all proteins require metal cofactors for function, yet metals can be toxic and
need to be tightly controlled. Metal homeostasis is basically the equilibrium between metal …
