The Ib subgroup of the bHLH gene family in Arabidopsis contains four members (AtbHLH38,
AtbHLH39, AtbHLH100, and AtbHLH101). AtbHLH38 and AtbHLH39 were previously …

Plants require a complex balance of mineral nutrients to reproduce successfully. Because
the availability of many of these nutrients in the soil is compromised by several factors, such …

The generally low bioavailability of iron in aerobic soil systems forced plants to evolve
sophisticated genetic strategies to improve the acquisition of iron from sparingly soluble and …

Iron is essential for photosynthesis and is often a limiting nutrient for plant productivity.
Plants respond to conditions of iron deficiency by increasing transcript abundance of key …

Plants are capable of inducing a range of physico-chemical and microbial modifications of
the rhizosphere which can mobilize mineral nutrients or prevent toxic elements from entering …

Copper and iron are essential micronutrients for most living organisms because they
participate as cofactors in biological processes, including respiration, photosynthesis, and …

Due to its ease to donate or accept electrons, iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in respiration and
metabolism, including tetrapyrrole synthesis, in virtually all organisms. In plants, Fe is a …

Plant chloroplasts are not only the main cellular location for storage of elemental iron (Fe),
but also the main site for Fe, which is incorporated into chlorophyll, haem and the …

Background and aims Iron is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Although abundant in
soil, iron is poorly available. Therefore, plants have evolved mechanisms for iron …

In plants, iron (Fe) uptake and homeostasis are critical for survival, and these processes are
tightly regulated at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Circadian clocks are …
