The ionome is defined as the mineral nutrient and trace element composition of an organism
and represents the inorganic component of cellular and organismal systems. Ionomics, the …

The long-lasting success of forward genetic screens relies on the simple molecular basis of
the characterized phenotypes, which are typically caused by mutations in single genes …

The circadian clock is required for adaptive responses to daily and seasonal changes in
environmental conditions,,. Light and the circadian clock interact to consolidate the phase of …

Relatively little is known about how metals such as iron are effluxed from cells, a necessary
step for transport from the root to the shoot. Ferroportin (FPN) is the sole iron efflux …

Though central to our understanding of how roots perform their vital function of scavenging
water and solutes from the soil, no direct genetic evidence currently exists to support the …

The Evening Complex (EC), composed of the DNA binding protein LUX ARRHYTHMO
(LUX) and two additional proteins EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) and ELF4, is a …

The last two decades have witnessed a remarkable activity in the development and use of
molecular markers both in animal and plant systems. This activity started with low …

Analysis of the genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, as well as that of all other
organisms for which whole-genome sequences are available, has revealed the existence of …

Transcriptional feedback loops are key to circadian clock function in many organisms.
Current models of the Arabidopsis circadian network consist of several coupled feedback …

Plants are sessile and therefore have developed mechanisms to adapt to their environment,
including the soil mineral nutrient composition. Ionomics is a developing functional genomic …
