Copper is an essential metal for plants. It plays key roles in photosynthetic and respiratory
electron transport chains, in ethylene sensing, cell wall metabolism, oxidative stress …

Copper (Cu) is a cofactor in proteins that are involved in electron transfer reactions and is an
essential micronutrient for plants. Copper delivery is accomplished by the concerted action …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Copper is an essential metal for normal plant growth and development, although it is also
potentially toxic. Copper participates in numerous physiological processes and is an …

In the past few years, exciting advances have been made toward understanding how copper
is transported into and distributed to cupro-proteins within cells. Recent work has identified …

Plants directly assimilate minerals from the environment and thus are key for acquisition of
metals by all subsequent consumers. Limited bio-availability of copper, zinc and iron in soil …

Metallochaperones are key proteins for the safe transport of metallic ions inside the cell.
HIPP s (heavy metal‐associated isoprenylated plant proteins) are metallochaperones that …

Since copper (Cu) is essential in key physiological oxidation reactions, organisms have
developed strategies for handling Cu while avoiding its potentially toxic effects. Among the …

Despite copper ions being crucial in proteins participating in plant processes such as
electron transport, free-radical elimination and hormone perception and signaling, very little …

Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to tightly control the acquisition and
distribution of copper and iron in response to environmental fluctuations. Recent studies with …
