The micronutrients iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) are essential for plants and the
humans and animals that consume plants. Increasing the micronutrient density of staple …

Zinc (Zn) is a vital element. It plays indispensable roles in multifarious cellular processes,
affecting the expression and activity of a variety of molecules, including transcription factors …

Plants take up iron from the soil using the IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1)
high-affinity iron transporter at the root surface. Sophisticated regulatory mechanisms allow …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient with numerous cellular functions in plants, and its
deficiency represents one of the most serious problems in human nutrition worldwide. Zn …

The micronutrient zinc is essential for all living organisms, but it is toxic at high
concentrations. Here, to understand the effects of excess zinc on plant cells, we performed …

Metals contaminate the soil when present in high concentrations causing soil and ultimately
environmental pollution.“Phytoremediation” is the use of plants to remove pollutants from …

To avoid zinc (Zn) toxicity, plants have developed a Zn homeostasis mechanism to cope with
Zn excess in the surrounding soil. In this report, we uncovered the difference of a cross …

In addition to its critical role in normal cell function, growth, and metabolism, zinc is
implicated as a major factor in the development and progression of many pathological …

Contamination of agricultural soils with trace elements (TEs) through municipal and
industrial wastes, atmospheric deposition and fertilisers is a matter of great global concern …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms. Paradoxically, although iron is
abundant in many soils, iron availability is very often limiting for plant growth. In addition …
