Biofortification is a long-term strategy of delivering more iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) to those most
in need. Plant breeding programs within the CGIAR and NARS have made major advances …

Abstract Heavy metal (loid)(HM) pollution of agricultural soils is a growing global
environmental concern that affects planetary health. Numerous studies have shown that soil …

The functions of iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, boron, and chlorine in
plants are discussed. Iron (Fe) plays a crucial role in redox systems in cells and various …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is a vital strategy to enhance the phytoremediation of
cadmium (Cd) pollution. However, the function of AMF was influenced by phosphorus (P) …

Mycorrhizae improve the efficiency of mineral intake in soils where such minerals may be
poor or otherwise less accessible. In particular, immobile elements like phosphorus, zinc …

The provision of sustainable, sufficient, and nutritious food to the growing population is a
major challenge for agriculture and the plant research community. In this respect, the …

Micronutrients are essential for plant growth and play a key role in crop nutrition.
Micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) are necessary …

Abstract Background Cadmium (Cd) levels of food crops can be elevated through
management activities and geogenic factors. While emphasis is placed on reducing Cd in …

Flooding intensity significantly alters the availability of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and cadmium (Cd)
in paddy soil. However, the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the uptake …

Flooding is a critical factor that limits the establishment of a symbiosis between rice and
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in wetland ecosystems. The distribution of carbon …
