Zinc is involved in a variety of biological processes, as a structural, catalytic, and intracellular
and intercellular signaling component. Thus zinc homeostasis is tightly controlled at the …

Plants that deploy a phosphorus (P)-mobilising strategy based on the release of
carboxylates tend to have high leaf manganese concentrations ([Mn]). This occurs because …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Developing tissues such as meristem with low transpiration require high Zn levels for their
active growth, but the molecular mechanisms underlying the preferential distribution to these …

In this chapter, a brief overview of the history of plant mineral nutrition is provided. Soil
serves as the source of nutrient elements, and so the availability of nutrients is governed by …

Background Iron toxicity is a root related abiotic stress, occurring frequently in flooded soils.
It can affect the yield of rice in lowland production systems. This toxicity is associated with …

Micronutrients are important for the growth and development of plants, which deploy families
of transporters for their uptake and distribution. We have functionally characterized a novel …

In young tomato plants, modifications in mineral composition by short-term cadmium (Cd)
treatments have been extensively examined. However, long-term Cd treatments have been …

Between 5 and 10% of all proteins of a given organism are estimated to require zinc for
function, and hence zinc is essential for almost any given metabolic process. It is therefore of …

The aim of the present paper was to understand the specific mechanism of hydrogen-rich
water (HRW) in alleviating cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris …
