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 …

Plant roots forage the soil for iron, the concentration of which can be dramatically lower than
those needed for growth. Soil iron uptake uses the broad metal spectrum IRT1 transporter …

The occurrence of heavy metals in soils may be beneficial or toxic to the environment. The
biota may require some of these elements considered essentials (like Fe, Zn, Cu or Mo) in …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the

A better understanding of the role of the Arabidopsis ZIP family of micronutrient transporters
is necessary in order to advance our understanding of plant Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu …

Plants are the principal source of iron in most diets, yet iron availability often limits plant
