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 …

This review will discuss recent progress in understanding the many roles of transporters in
the whole-plant physiological processes that maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. These …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) facilitate plant growth in two ways, either by direct
stimulation or by biocontrol (ie, suppressive activity against soil-borne diseases). The direct …

Understanding the regulation of key genes involved in plant iron acquisition is of crucial
importance for breeding of micronutrient-enriched crops. The basic helix-loop-helix protein …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is a major constraint for plant growth and affects the quality of edible
plant parts. To investigate the mechanisms underlying Fe homeostasis in plants, Fe …

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 …

We present data supporting a general role for FERRIC REDICTASE DEFECTIVE3 (FRD3),
an efflux transporter of the efficient iron chelator citrate, in maintaining iron homeostasis …

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 …

Understanding iron (Fe) sensing and regulation is important for targeting key genes for
important nutritional traits like Fe content. The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor FIT …

Plants display a number of responses to low iron availability in order to increase iron uptake
from the soil. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the ferric‐chelate reductase FRO2 and …
