Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …

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 …

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 …

Iron is one of the most important micronutrients in plants as it is involved in many cellular
functions (eg, photosynthesis and respiration). Any defect in iron availability will affect plant …

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 …

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most dangerous environmental pollutants among heavy metals,
and threatens food safety and human health by accumulating in plant sink tissues. Here, we …

Iron (Fe) deficiency is a widespread nutritional disorder on calcareous soils. To identify
genes involved in the Fe deficiency response, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transfer …

In plants, iron uptake from the soil is tightly regulated to ensure optimal growth and
development. Iron absorption in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells requires the IRT1 …

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 …
