Background Plants contain relatively few cell types, each contributing a specialized role in
shaping plant function. With respect to plant nutrition, different cell types accumulate certain …

Ionomics is the study of elemental accumulation in living systems using high-throughput
elemental profiling. This approach has been applied extensively in plants for forward and …

In contrast with many other essential metals, the mechanisms of Mn acquisition in higher
eukaryotes are seldom studied and poorly understood. We show here that Arabidopsis …

Feeding the world's growing population is a serious challenge. Food insecurity is
concentrated in developing nations, where drought and low soil fertility are primary …

The genetic model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, like many plant species, experiences a range
of edaphic conditions across its natural habitat. Such heterogeneity may drive local …

Soil salinity affects a large proportion of the land worldwide, forcing plants to evolve a
number of mechanisms to cope with salt stress. Cytokinin plays a role in the plant response …

Controlling elemental composition is critical for plant growth and development as well as the
nutrition of humans who utilize plants for food. Uncovering the genetic architecture …

Abstract SODIUM POTASSIUM ROOT DEFECTIVE1 (NaKR1; previously called NPCC6)
encodes a soluble metal binding protein that is specifically expressed in companion cells of …

Plant root architecture is highly responsive to changes in nutrient availability. However, the
