Unlocking stored iron: The role of ANAC017 in plant iron homeostasis
Plant Science Research WeeklyIron is essential for plant growth and development, but its availability in soil is often limited. Besides absorbing iron from the soil, plants can also reuse iron stored in their cell walls, although the mechanisms regulating this process remain unclear. In a recent study, Chunyan Tu and colleagues…
Review. Root growth under phosphorus deficiency: Revisiting the role of TOR signaling
Plant Science Research WeeklyWhile phosphorus (P) ranks the second most essential mineral nutrient for plant growth, its availability in natural soils is often very low. To cope with this limitation, plant roots have evolved sophisticated molecular mechanisms and phenotypic plasticity to maximize root surface area and enhance P…
