The protein BICAT3 is one of the most important manganese distributors in plants. If defective, this can have devastating effects on a plant's growth; its leaves grow significantly smaller and it ...

Researchers demonstrate for the first time, using the model plant thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), how plants perceive manganese deficiency and which processes subsequently take place in the plant ...

MANGANESE is now recognized as an essential element for normal plant growth, and most soils contain sufficient of it in an available form to supply the needs of all vegetation. There are certain soils ...

A team of researchers led by Jörg Kudla from the Institute of Biology and Biotechnology at the University of Münster are the first to demonstrate, using the model plant thale cress (Arabidopsis ...

Every living organism needs the element manganese as an essential nutrient. In plants, for example, it plays a major role in breaking down water into oxygen and hydrogen during photosynthesis. A team ...
