Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Developing strategies to improve plant Fe content …

Iron is an essential element for life on Earth and its shortage, or excess, in the living organism
may lead to severe health disorders. Plants serve as the primary source of dietary iron and …

Understanding the regulation of key genes involved in plant iron acquisition is of crucial
importance for breeding of micronutrient-enriched crops. The basic helix-loop-helix protein FER-…

Plants grown under iron ( Fe )-deficient conditions induce a set of genes that enhance the
efficiency of Fe uptake by the roots. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the central regulator …

Due to its redox properties, iron is both essential and toxic. Therefore, soil iron availability
variations pose a significant problem for plants. Recent evidence suggests that calcium and …

Nutrient acquisition is entangled with growth and stress in sessile organisms. The bHLH
transcription factor FIT is a key regulator of Arabidopsis iron (Fe) acquisition and post-…

Dicotyledonous plants growing under limited iron availability initiate a response resulting in
the solubilization, reduction, and uptake of soil iron. The protein factors responsible for these …

Root iron mobilization genes are induced by iron deficiency downstream of an unknown
signaling mechanism. The FER gene, encoding a basic helix-loop-helix domain protein and …

Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) show similar
physiological responses to iron deficiency, suggesting that homologous genes are involved. …

Regulation of iron (Fe) acquisition and homeostasis is critical for plant survival. In Arabidopsis,
Fe deficiency‐induced bHLH039 forms a complex with the master regulator FIT and …
