Iron (Fe) deficiency and toxicity are the most widely prevalent soil-related micronutrient
disorders in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Progress in rice cultivars with improved tolerance has …

In sub-Saharan Africa, the demand for higher rice production continues to grow rapidly.
Although there is a huge potential for increasing rice production through expansion of the …

Background Fe toxicity occurs in lowland rice production due to excess ferrous iron (Fe 2+)
formation in reduced soils. To contribute to the breeding for tolerance to Fe toxicity in rice …

Ferrous iron toxicity is a mineral disorder frequently occurring under waterlogged soils
where rice is cultivated. To decipher the main metabolic pathways involved in rice response …

Iron (Fe) is a fundamental element involved in various plant metabolic processes. However,
when Fe uptake is excessive, it becomes toxic to the plant and disrupts cellular homeostasis …

Abstract Background Ferrous iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) at high concentration in the soil cause
heavy metal toxicity and greatly affect rice yield and quality. To improve rice production …

Key message A genome-wide association study in rice yielded loci and candidate genes
associated with tolerance to iron toxicity, and revealed biochemical mechanisms associated …

Iron (Fe) toxicity is a major constraint in lowland rice. Because of its higher rusticity and
adaptability to adverse soil conditions, the African rice Oryza glaberrima constitutes a new …

Sorghum, a cereal of economic importance ensures food and fodder security for millions of
rural families in the semi-arid tropics. The objective of the present study was to identify and …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element to plants, but can be harmful if accumulated to toxic
concentrations. Fe toxicity can be a major nutritional disorder in rice (Oryza sativa) when …
