Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe …

The sessile lifestyle of plants requires them to cope with stresses in situ. Plants overcome
abiotic stresses by altering structure/morphology, and in some extreme conditions, by …

Plants grown under iron (Fe)-deficient conditions induce a set of genes that enhance the
efficiency of Fe uptake by the roots. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the central …

Nutrient acquisition is entangled with growth and stress in sessile organisms. The bHLH
transcription factor FIT is a key regulator of Arabidopsis iron (Fe) acquisition and post …

Background Plant ZIP genes represent an important transporter family involved in metal
transport. Evidence has implied that some ZIPs may contribute to plant Cd uptake, but a …

Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is an annual grain legume crop affected by low
availability of phosphorus. Phosphorus deficiency mainly affects the growth and …

Fe deficiency (-Fe) is a common abiotic stress that affects the root development of plants.
Auxin and nitric oxide (NO) are key regulator of root growth under-Fe. However, the …

Membranes are essential for cells and organelles to function. As membranes are
impermeable to most polar and charged molecules, they provide electrochemical energy to …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for both plants and animals. Fe‐limitation significantly
reduces crop yield and adversely impacts on human nutrition. Owing to limited …

The micronutrients iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are not only essential for plant survival and
proliferation but are crucial for human health. Increasing Fe and Zn levels in edible parts of …
