TL;DR: This analysis has focused on cation transporter gene families for which initial characterizations have been achieved for individual members, including potassium transporters and channels, sodium transporter, calcium antiporters, cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, cation diffusion facilitator proteins, natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins, and Zn-regulated transporter Fe-regulatedporter-like proteins.

TL;DR: Using synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microtomography to directly visualize iron in Arabidopsis seeds, it is shown that iron is localized primarily to the provascular strands of the embryo.

TL;DR: Some of the components regulating iron deficiency responses also have been elucidated, demonstrating that iron dependent gene regulation occurs at both the transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels.

TL;DR: Roles for OsYSL15 in Fe uptake and distribution in rice plants are demonstrated and the promoter fusion to β-glucuronidase showed that it was expressed in all root tissues when Fe was limited.

TL;DR: Results indicate that OsZIP5 plays a role in Zn distribution within rice, and complemented the growth defect of a yeast Zn-uptake mutant, indicating that Os zn transporter is a Zn transporter.
