Accumulation of heavy metals in selective locations of the environment has been attracting
considerable public attention over the last decades. The conventional clean-up technologies …

Plants release a multitude of organic compounds into the rhizosphere, some of which are
flavonoids. These products of secondary metabolism are mainly studied for their antioxidant …

Global population increases and climate change underscore the need for better
comprehension of how plants acquire and process nutrients such as iron. Using cell type …

Optimizing root system architecture can overcome yield limitations in crop plants caused by
water or nutrient shortages. Classic breeding approaches are difficult because the trait is …

In response to iron (Fe) deficiency, dicots employ a reduction-based mechanism by inducing
ferric-chelate reductase (FCR) at the root plasma membrane to enhance Fe uptake …

In a previous work it was shown that ethylene participates in the up-regulation of several Fe
acquisition genes of Arabidopsis, such as AtFIT, AtFRO2, and AtIRT1. In this work the …

Nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as a signal molecule that interplays with reactive
oxygen species in response to heavy metal stresses. Roles of NO in regulating cadmium …

Abstract Background Iron (Fe) is the most limiting micronutrient element for crop production
in alkaline soils. A number of transcription factors involved in regulating Fe uptake from soil …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is counteracted by a suite of responses to ensure maintenance of vital
processes for which Fe is essential. Here, we report on transcriptional changes upon Fe …

Iron‐deficiency responses comprise molecular, physiological and developmental
adjustments, ultimately leading to an improved cellular Fe homeostasis. By using a …
