Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

Iron is an essential element for plants as well as other organisms, functioning in various
cellular processes, including respiration, chlorophyll biosynthesis, and photosynthesis …

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 …

Organic acids (OAs) are central to cellular metabolism. Many plant stress responses involve
the exudation of OAs at the root–soil interface, which can improve soil mineral acquisition …

Paddy rice (Oryza sativa) is able to accumulate high concentrations of Mn without showing
toxicity; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying Mn uptake are unknown. Here, we …

Both plants and humans require mineral elements for their healthy growth and development.
Mineral elements in the soil are taken up by the plant roots and transported to the edible …

Iron is essential for the survival and proliferation of all plants. Higher plants have developed
two distinct strategies to acquire iron, which is only slightly soluble, from the rhizosphere: the …

Background Agricultural production is often limited by low phosphorus (P) availability. In
developing countries, which have limited access to P fertiliser, there is a need to develop …

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 …
