Metabolome analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana roots identifies a key metabolic pathway for iron acquisition.

Fe deficiency compromises both human health and plant productivity. Thus, it is important to understand plant Fe acquisition strategies for the development of crop plants which are more Fe-efficient under Fe-limited conditions, such as alkaline soils, and have higher Fe density in their edible tissu...
