Iron (Fe) is essential for life because of its role in protein cofactors. Photosynthesis, in
particular photosynthetic electron transport, has a very high demand for Fe cofactors. Fe is …

Iron (Fe) is vital for plant growth. Plants balance the beneficial and toxic effects of this
micronutrient, and tightly control Fe uptake and allocation. Here, we review the role of the …

Plants benefit from associations with a diverse community of root-colonizing microbes.
Deciphering the mechanisms underpinning these beneficial services are of interest for …

In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

Plants have evolved two strategies to acquire ferrous (Strategy I) or ferric (Strategy II) iron
from soil. The iron‐related bHLH transcription factor 2 (IRO2) has been identified as a key …

Salinity and drought are the most important abiotic stresses hampering crop growth and
yield. It has been estimated that arid areas cover between 41% and 45% of the total Earth …

Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus PAL5 and Azospirillum brasilense REC3 are plant growth
promoting bacteria. They are able to produce hydroxamate and catechol type siderophores …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is prevalent in plants grown in neutral or alkaline soil. Plants have
evolved sophisticated mechanisms that regulate Fe homeostasis, ensuring survival. In …

In the past few decades, the major concern on this planet was food security. After making a
successful lead in food security now, the developing nations are focusing on nutritional …

Iron (Fe) is indispensable for the growth and development of plants. It is well known that FER‐
LIKE FE DEFICIENCY‐INDUCED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR (FIT) is a key regulator of Fe …
