The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein superfamily is one of the largest known, with over
120 members in both Arabidopsis thaliana and rice (Oryza sativa). Most, but not all, ABC …

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

Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system.
Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has …

AtATM3, an ATP-binding cassette transporter of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), is a
mitochondrial protein involved in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters and iron homeostasis …

Photosynthetic organisms are among the earliest life forms on earth and their biochemistry is
strictly dependent on a wide range of inorganic nutrients owing to the use of metal cofactor …

Transition metal deficiency has a strong impact on the growth and survival of an organism.
Indeed, transition metals, such as iron, copper, manganese and zinc, constitute essential …

Metal pollution in freshwater bodies is a long-standing challenge with large expense
required to clean-up pollutants such as Cd. There is widespread interest in the potentially …

Access state-of-the-art research about trace element contamination and its impact on human
health in Trace Elements as Contaminants and Nutrients: Consequences in Ecosystems and …

As in all organisms, metal cations are crucial for nutrition in plants. Several metals, such as
copper, iron, zinc, and manganese, act as important cofactors for many enzymes and are …

ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters are proteins that actively mediate the transport of a
wide range of molecules, such as organic acids, metal ions, phytohormones and secondary …
