An increase in technological interventions and ruthless urbanization in the name of
development has deteriorated our environment over time and caused the buildup of heavy …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria that are able to colonize
rhizosphere and to enhance plant growth by means of a wide variety of mechanisms like …

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 …

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 …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Here, we have analysed the H+‐ATPase‐mediated extrusion of protons across the plasma
membrane (PM) of rhizodermic cells, a process that is inducible by iron (Fe) deficiency and …

Iron (Fe) deficiency-induced chlorosis is a major nutritional disorder in crops growing in
calcareous soils. Iron deficiency in fruit tree crops causes chlorosis, decreases in vegetative …

Iron uptake in plants is highly regulated in order to supply amounts sufficient for optimal
growth while preventing excess accumulation. In response to iron deficiency, plants induce …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

The micronutrients iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) are essential for plants and the
humans and animals that consume plants. Increasing the micronutrient density of staple …
