Iron Uptake and Transport in Plants: The Good, the Bad, and the Ionome

Effect of temporary drought at different growth stages on snap bean pod quality and yield

“…Iron absorption is affected by rate of water absorption and translocation into the plant system (White, 2011). A lot of iron absorption and translocation also take place late in the season (Morrissey and Guerinot, 2009), so late drought resulted in significant reduction of iron concentration in the plant tissue. However, the specific mechanism how drought stress reduce iron concentration in pods is not clear and needs further investigation.…”

Nutritional profile of the Portuguese cabbage (Brassica oleracea L var. costata) and its relationship with the elemental soil analysis

“…al., 2006). After entering the epidermis, Fe is likely bound by unknown chelators or chaperones whose role in the translocation mechanisms are not yet fully understood, although Morrissey and Guerinot (2009), claimed that plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe deficiency as well as Fe overload. In conclusion, the relationship between the concentrations of metals in plants and soils can vary greatly according to the plant species and their intrinsic characteristics, soil characteristics, the type of metals, and their speciation (Reboredo, 2012).…”

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Low-Dimensional Iron Oxide Nanostructures

“…Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and iron oxides are commonly found in nature and have become the most plentiful transition metal oxides (Morrissey and Guerinot, 2009;Ilani et al, 1999). The complicated phases and features of iron oxides have been listed in Table 1.…”
