Malnutrition results in enormous socio-economic costs to the individual, their community,
and the nation's economy. The evidence suggests an overall negative impact of climate …

Iron (Fe) is an essential plant micronutrient since many cellular processes including
photosynthesis, respiration, and the scavenging of reactive oxygen species depend on …

Biofortification of iron (Fe) in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) grains should have benefits for
human health and food security. However, effects of this approach on productivity, as well as …

Chloroplasts, mitochondria and vacuoles represent characteristic organelles of the plant
cell, with a predominant function in cellular metabolism. Chloroplasts are the site of …

To ensure the success of the new generation in annual species, the mother plant transfers a
large proportion of the nutrients it has accumulated during its vegetative life to the next …

Iron is an essential micronutrient for humans and other organisms. Its deficiency is one of the
leading causes of anemia worldwide. The world health organization has proposed that an …

In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the awns—the bristle-like structures extending from lemmas—
are photosynthetically active. Compared to awned cultivars, awnletted cultivars produce …

We performed a histological and quantitative study of iron in archaeological maize seeds
from prehispanic times recovered from Tarapacá, Atacama Desert. Also, we examined iron …

Several transcription factors have been involved in the regulation of gene expression during
seed development. Nutritional reserves, including iron, are principally accumulated during …

Iron is accumulated in Arabidopsis embryos during seed maturation. Where iron localizes in
seed and embryo is important information for seed research. Iron detection can be …
