Manganese (Mn) is an important micronutrient for plant growth and development and
sustains metabolic roles within different plant cell compartments. The metal is an essential …

Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

Increasing the intrinsic nutritional quality of crops, known as biofortification, is viewed as a
sustainable approach to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies. In particular, iron deficiency …

Heavy metal toxicity is one of the major concerns for agriculture and health. Accumulation of
toxic heavy metals at high concentrations in edible parts of crop plants is the primary cause …

Homeostasis of the essential micronutrient manganese (Mn) is crucially determined through
availability and uptake efficiency in all organisms. Mn deficiency of plants especially occurs …

Understanding the distribution of elements within plant tissues is important across a range of
fields in plant science. In this review, we examine synchrotron-based x-ray fluorescence …

Nanoparticles are used in a variety of products, including fertilizer-nutrients and agro-
pesticides. However, due to heightened reactivity of nano-scale materials, the effects of …

Abstract Calcium (Ca2+) and manganese (Mn2+) are essential elements for plants and have
similar ionic radii and binding coordination. They are assigned specific functions within …

Plant mineral nutrition is essential for both crop yields and human health. However, the
uneven distribution of mineral elements over time and space leads to a lack or excess of …

Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms. However, excess Mn
supply that can occur in acid or waterlogged soils has toxic effects on plant physiology and …
