Nutrient imbalance (ie, deficiency and toxicity) of microelements is an outstanding
environmental issue that influences each aspect of ecosystems. Although the crucial roles of …

The high selection pressure applied in rice breeding since its domestication thousands of
years ago has caused a narrowing in its genetic variability. Obtaining new rice cultivars …

The functions of iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, boron, and chlorine in
plants are discussed. Iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in redox systems in cells and various …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient for most organisms including humans, and Zn
deficiency is widespread in human populations, particularly in underdeveloped regions …

Sulfate transporters are integral membrane proteins controlling the flux of sulfate (SO42–)
entering the cells and subcellular compartments across the membrane lipid bilayers. Sulfate …

Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential element for almost all living organisms. After being taken
up into the cells as molybdate, it is incorporated into the molybdenum cofactor, which …

In this review, we untangle the physiological key functions of the essential micronutrients
and link them to the deficiency responses in plants. Knowledge of these responses at the …

Plants, being sessile, face an array of biotic and abiotic stresses in their lifespan that
endanger their survival. Hence, optimized uptake of mineral nutrients creates potential new …

Soybean (Glycine max) is a crop with high demand for molybdenum (Mo) and typically
requires Mo fertilization to achieve maximum yield potential. However, the genetic basis …

Brassica rapa includes several important leafy vegetable crops with the potential for high
cadmium (Cd) accumulation, posing a risk to human health. This study aims to understand …
