This study characterizes Brachypodium distachyon metabolomic responses to environmental changes using LC-MS/MS and identifies condition-specific metabolic biomarkers.

The paper identifies AtOPT3 as a phloem transporter that moves copper and iron, mediating shoot-to-root signaling and crosstalk between copper and iron homeostasis in A. thaliana.

This study identifies FPN3 as a dual-targeted iron exporter in Arabidopsis mitochondria and chloroplasts, essential for iron homeostasis and growth under iron deficiency.

This study shows copper deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana causes altered shoot architecture, delayed flowering and senescence, and reduced fertility due to changes in stigma morphology, anther lignification, and pollen redox status.

This study identifies YSL3-mediated copper transport as critical for fertility, grain yield, and size in Brachypodium, with implications for improving crop production in copper-deficient soils.
