Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

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 …

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family is one of the largest transcription
factor gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana, and contains a bHLH motif that is highly …

Flavonoids are secondary metabolites involved in several aspects of plant development and
defence. They colour fruits and flowers, favouring seed and pollen dispersal, and contribute …

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 …

Named for the characteristic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) region in their protein structure,
bHLH proteins are a widespread transcription factor class in eukaryotes. bHLHs …

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

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that affects the growth and development of plants
because it participates as a cofactor in numerous physiological and biochemical reactions …

Iron plays a crucial role in biochemistry and is an essential micronutrient for plants and
humans alike. Although plentiful in the Earth's crust it is not usually found in a form readily …

The Arabidopsis root has been the subject of intense research over the past decades. This
research has led to significantly improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms …
