The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family is one of the largest transcription
factor gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana, and contains a bHLH motif that is highly …

Micronutrients like copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), and Zinc (Zn) are essential for
plants, and their functions are tightly linked for vital metabolism. The normal concentration …

In nature, land plants as sessile organisms are faced with multiple nutrient stresses that
often occur simultaneously in soil. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and …

Iron (Fe) is one of the essential micronutrients required by both plants and animals. In
humans, Fe deficiency causes anemia, the most prevalent nutritional disorder. Most people …

Although abundant in soils, iron (Fe) is poorly bioavailable for plants. Improving Fe uptake in
crops, enabling them to grow in Fe-depleted soils, has become a major focal interest. The …

Key message Knowledge of genetic variation, genetics, physiology/molecular basis and
breeding (including biotechnological approaches) for biofortification and bioavailability for …

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients for plant growth and development. It
functions as the enzyme cofactor or component of electron transport chains in various vital …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient whose availability is limiting in many soils. During Fe
deficiency, plants alter the expression of many genes to increase Fe uptake, distribution, and …

Environmental pH is a critical parameter for innumerable chemical reactions, myriad
biological processes and all forms of life. The mechanisms that underlie the perception of …

In plants, iron (Fe) transport and homeostasis are highly regulated processes. Fe deficiency
or excess dramatically limits plant and algal productivity. Interestingly, complex and …
