Mitochondria dysfunctions under Fe and S deficiency: is citric acid involved in the regulation of adaptive responses?
(2018)Within the last years, extensive information has been accumulated on the reciprocal influence between S and Fe nutrition at both physiological and molecular level in several plant species, but the mechanisms regulating S ... -
The characterization of the adaptive responses of durum wheat to different Fe availability highlights an optimum Fe requirement threshold
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2016)Plant mechanisms responding to iron (Fe) deficiency have been widely described; it is well known that Strategy II plants, as durum wheat, cope with this stress by increasing both the synthesis and secretion of phytosiderophores ... -
Terbuthylazine interferes with iron nutrition in maize (Zea mays) plants
(2017)Many chemicals, including herbicides, are routinely applied to crops for weed management and food production improvement. However, the intensive use of herbicides could lead eventually to a great environmental threat due ... -
Effect of three safeners on sulfur assimilation and iron deficiency response in barley (Hordeum vulgare) plants
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017)BACKGROUND: Safeners are agrochemicals used in agriculture to protect crops from herbicide injuries. They act by stimulating herbicide metabolism. As graminaceous plants, to cope with iron (Fe) deficiency, activate sulfur ... -
Does Fe accumulation in durum wheat seeds benefit from improved whole-plant sulfur nutrition?
(2018)Sulfur and iron balanced supply is of paramount importance for plants, since Fe homoeostasis in plants has been shown to be strongly dependent on sulfate availability; vice versa the adaptation to Fe deficiency requires ... -
Effects of terbuthylazine on phytosiderophores release in iron deficient barley
(2015)One of the main purposes of modern agriculture is to raise crop production by means of a proper application of herbicides. Nonetheless, the use of herbicides is causing some concerns associated to their persistence and ... -
Revisiting Fe/S interplay in tomato: A split-root approach to study the systemic and local responses
(2018)Based on our previous studies demonstrating an intriguing interplay between sulfur (S) and iron (Fe), a split-root experiment was performed to determine whether plant S status and/or S external concentration could modify ...
