Current understanding of iron homeostasis

Abstract. Iron is an essential trace element, but it is also toxic in excess, and thus mammals have developed elegant mechanisms for keeping both cellular and whole-body iron concentrations within the optimal physiologic range. In the diet, iron is either sequestered within heme or in various nonheme forms. Although the absorption of heme …

Namakwa Sands, South Africa

The open-pit mine and concentration plants are situated at Brand-se-Baai, 385km north of Cape Town. Here the ore is mined and processed at the primary concentration plants to produce a mineral concentrate. It undergoes further processing at the secondary concentration plant to yield a magnetic and non-magnetic stream.

These regulatory processes help to avoid plant iron concentrations building up to potential cell functioning disruptions that could adversely affect plant fitness. Indeed, when iron is in excess in the plant, it can lead to the production and accumulation of dangerous reactive oxygen species and free radicals (H 2 O 2, HO •, O 2 •−, HO ...

Iron uptake by plants: Iron enters the plant via the root from where it is distributed inside the plant. Generally, iron is present in concentrations of about 10 - 500 μg Fe/g dry weight in plant tissues. Iron homeostasis is a tightly controlled process whereby control of the iron transporters is crucial.
