TL;DR: Insight is yielded into the molecular regulation and control of plant heavy metal and micronutrient accumulation and homeostasis and information is provided that will contribute to the advancement of phytoremediation by the future engineering of plants with improved heavy metal uptake and tolerance.

TL;DR: It is shown here that controlling the formation of chromoplasts is an important mechanism by which carotenoid accumulation is regulated in plants.

TL;DR: Investigation into the mechanistic basis for this response demonstrated that Fe-deficiency-induced stimulation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase did not play a role in the enhanced Cd2+ uptake, and Expression studies with the Fe2+ transporter indicated that Fe deficiency induced the expression of this transporter, which might facilitate the transport of heavy-metal divalent cations in addition to Fe2+.

TL;DR: This review summarizes current knowledge of the P.triticina/wheat interaction with emphasis on the infection process, molecular aspects of pathogenicity, rust resistance genes in wheat, genetics of the host parasite interaction, and the population biology of P. triticina.

TL;DR: Both transcription factor and MAP kinase were induced just as rapidly in decapitated plants, suggesting that the rapid response to the absence of P, K, or Fe in the root-bathing medium is triggered either by a root-localized signal or because of root sensing of the mineral environment surrounding the roots.
