Relatively little is known about how metals such as iron are effluxed from cells, a necessary
step for transport from the root to the shoot. Ferroportin (FPN) is the sole iron efflux …

Phytoremediation is a group of technologies that use plants to reduce, remove, degrade, or
immobilize environmental toxins, primarily those of anthropogenic origin, with the aim of …

The contention that quantitative profiles of biomolecules contain information about the
physiological state of the organism has motivated a variety of high-throughput molecular profiling …

The plasma membrane in plant cells is energized with an electrical potential and proton
gradient generated through the action of H + pumps belonging to the P-type ATPase superfamily…

We used hybridization to the ATH1 gene expression array to interrogate genomic DNA diversity
in 23 wild strains (accessions) of Arabidopsis thaliana (arabidopsis), in comparison with …

Controlling elemental composition is critical for plant growth and development as well as
the nutrition of humans who utilize plants for food. Uncovering the genetic architecture …

SODIUM POTASSIUM ROOT DEFECTIVE1 (NaKR1; previously called NPCC6) encodes a
soluble metal binding protein that is specifically expressed in companion cells of the phloem. …

Dietary mineral deficiencies affect nearly half of the people on our planet, largely due to
poverty. Enhancing nutritional quality—or biofortification—represents an efficient and …

The ionome, or elemental profile, of a maize kernel can be viewed in at least two distinct ways.
First, the collection of elements within the kernel are food and feed for people and animals…

… This is somewhat counter-intuitive, as it would be reasonable to assume that elevated
temperature generated by infrared heaters (that do not increase air temperature) would primarily …
