Excessive intake of manganese (Mn) may cause neurological toxicity in the human body. Previous studies have shown that high phosphorus (P) fertilization can significantly increase the Mn content in wheat grain; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of P fertilizer application on Mn accumulation, Mn transporters, and Mn micro-distribution in wheat at varying P fertilization rates. Results indicated that high P fertilization promoted Mn accumulation in wheat at anthesis and maturity and increased Mn localization in roots and flag-leaf nodes, particularly in the enlarged and diffuse vascular bundles of flag-leaf nodes. High P fertilization upregulated the expression of Mn transporter genes in roots and promoted the uptake of Mn by wheat, but it downregulated expression in the flag-leaf nodes and decreased the Mn transfer factor from straw to spikes at anthesis. These findings contribute valuable insights into new strategies for mitigating the risk of high Mn levels in wheat grain and understanding the interaction between phosphorus and metal elements.

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic metal that poses serious threats to human health. Rice is a major source of dietary Cd but how rice plants transport Cd to the grain is not fully understood. Here, we characterize the function of the ZIP (ZRT, IRT-like protein) family protein, OsZIP2, in the root-to-shoot translocation of Cd and intervascular transfer of Cd in nodes.

Nitrogen (N) is a macronutrient limiting crop productivity with varied requirements across species and genotypes. Understanding the mechanistic basis of N responsiveness by comparing contrasting genotypes could inform the development and selection of varieties with lower N demands, or inform agronomic practices to sustain yields with lower N inputs. Given the established role of millets in ensuring climate-resilient food and nutrition security, we investigated the physiological and genetic basis of nitrogen responsiveness in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.

To investigate the effects of leaves and stems on the accumulation and transport of cadmium(Cd) and arsenic(As) in wheat shoots after flowering, a field experiment was conducted in a typical Cd and As co-contaminated agricultural land to explore the distribution and translocation of Cd and As in the different parts of two wheat cultivars after flowering. The results showed that Cd was mainly distributed in the nodes of two varieties, and the translocation factors of Cd from internode 3 to node 2, from internode 2 to node 1, and from sheath 1 to node 1 were markedly higher than those of other aboveground parts during the grain-filling stage. However, Cd was mainly distributed in the leaves, and the translocation factors of Cd from sheath to leaf and from node 1 to rachis was significantly higher than those of other parts at the mature stage.

The stem, consisting of nodes and internodes, is the shoot axis, which supports aboveground organs and connects them to roots. In contrast to other organs, developmental processes of the stem remain elusive, especially those initiating nodes and internodes. By introducing an intron into the Cre recombinase gene, we established a heat shock-inducible clonal analysis system in a single binary vector and applied it to the stem in the flag leaf phytomer of rice (Oryza sativa).
