Metal toxicityNutrient toxicitySoil PollutionIron (Fe) is the fourth abundant element in the earth crust. Iron toxicity is not often discussed in plant science though it causes severe morphological and physiological disorders, including reduced germination percentage, interferes with enzymatic activities, ...
not only for improving their growth and development but also for enhancing human nutrition as plants are the principal dietary source of iron. This calls for the need to enrich bioavailable iron in crops to resolve iron starvation
Plants require iron for a large number of metabolic processes. Due to its low availability in high pH soils, and the impaired acquisition by roots, iron chlorosis is one of the most important limiting factors on plant development in many countries. Scope This editorial paper gives an overview o...
Iron participates in various crucial metabolic processes as an essential cofactor of many enzymes, which are vital to the survival of plants and their pathogens. However, excessive iron is toxic to the cells of plants and pathogens. Iron plays a complex role in the interactions between plants and...
Iron toxicity reduces growth of rice plants in acidic lowlands. Silicon nutrition may alleviate many stresses including heavy metal toxicity in plants. In the present study, the ameliorating effects of silicon nutrition on rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants under toxic Fe levels were investigated. Plant...
For all the extensive research conducted in the area of Fe biology and Fe toxicity in plants and animals and despite its broad relevance, not only the major genes responsible for high Fe tolerance have yet to be identified in plants, but also the ROS-independent mechanisms of Fe toxicity are...
In the contact tests, the colloid was nearly always more toxic than the crystals. In all the tests, except those with dieldrin, the relative toxicity (colloid : crystals) was greater at the lower after-treatment temperature, i.e. the temperature coeficient of the relative toxicity was ...
In plants, Graminaceae species employ plant specific siderophores while non-Graminaceae such as Arabidopsis thaliana depend on an iron reduction-based uptake strategy2. During pathogen attack, iron is at the nexus of host–pathogen interaction as both organisms compete for this metal. Pathogens ...
Understanding the potential effects of iron toxicity on plant development is important when constructing new wetland from iron-rich sediment. We aim to stu
