Iron is essential for the survival and proliferation of all plants. Higher plants have developed
two distinct strategies to acquire iron, which is only slightly soluble, from the rhizosphere: the …

When plants are subjected to high metal exposure, different plant species take different
strategies in response to metal-induced stress. Largely, plants can be distinguished in four …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that enters the environment through various
anthropogenic sources, and inhibits plant growth and development. Cadmium toxicity may …

Plants, like all other organisms, have evolved different mechanisms to maintain

Iron is an essential element for life on Earth and its shortage, or excess, in the living
organism may lead to severe health disorders. Plants serve as the primary source of dietary …

Rice and most staple cereals contain low iron (Fe) levels, most of which is lost during grain
processing. Populations with monotonous diets consisting mainly of cereals are especially …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for plants and humans, involved
in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. In addition, Zn is critical to the …

Abstract Both Fe deficiency and Cd exposure induce rapid changes in the S nutritional
requirement of plants. The aim of this work was to characterize the strategies adopted by …

Peanut/maize intercropping is a sustainable and effective agroecosystem to alleviate iron-
deficiency chlorosis. Using suppression subtractive hybridization from the roots of …

Prevalent on calcareous soils in the United States and abroad, iron deficiency is among the
most common and severe nutritional stresses in plants. In soybean (Glycine max) …
