Abstract Globally, about 20% of calories (energy) come from wheat. In some countries, it is
more than 70%. More than 2 billion people are at risk for zinc deficiency and even more …

In plants, iron (Fe) transport and homeostasis are highly regulated processes. Fe deficiency
or excess dramatically limits plant and algal productivity. Interestingly, complex and …

Abiotic stresses are responsible for the major losses in crop yield all over the world. Stresses
generate harmful ROS which can impair cellular processes in plants. Therefore, plants have …

Abstract In China, iron (Fe) availability is low in most soils but cadmium (Cd) generally
exceeds regulatory soil pollution limits. Thus, biofortification of Fe along with mitigation of Cd …

Wheat has low levels of the micronutrients iron and zinc in the grain, which contributes to 2
billion people suffering from micronutrient deficiency globally. While wheat flour is commonly …

Environmental pollution of heavy metals has received growing attention in recent years.
Heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and mercury can cause physiological and …

Plants adapt to changing environmental conditions by adjusting their growth physiology.
Nitrate (NO3−) and ammonium (NH4+) are the major inorganic nitrogen forms for plant …

Iron (Fe) is an essential plant nutrient that is indispensable for many physiological activities.
