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

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 …

The contamination of food crops by cadmium (Cd) is a major concern in food production
because it can reduce crop yields and threaten human health. In this study, knockout rice …

The combined use of electrokinetic remediation and phytoremediation to decontaminate soil
polluted with heavy metals has been demonstrated in a laboratory-scale experiment. The …

The membrane-spanning protein PIC1 (for permease in chloroplasts 1) in Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana) was previously described to mediate iron transport across the inner …

In a transcriptomic study of magnesium (Mg) starvation in Arabidopsis, we identified several
genes that were differentially regulated which are involved in the detoxification process of …

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

Phosphate (Pi) and its anhydrides constitute major nodes in metabolism. Thus, plant
performance depends directly on Pi nutrition. Inadequate Pi availability in the rhizosphere is …
