The book, Advancements in Iron Nutrition Research, presents for the first time a complete and up-to-date information on iron nutrition and interactions in diverse groups of plants under a wide range of agro-climatic conditions and deals with the detailed physiology and biochemistry of iron related to different strategies in higher plants in mobilization and uptake and its functions in chloroplast, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, enzyme and protein structure. Information on the newer techniques in iron nutrition researches has also been incorporated to harvest the maximum possible benefits in improving plants for tolerance to iron deficiency. Special care has been taken in reviewing the recent advances in phytosiderophore production and activity. In fact, this treatise is a treasure for interdisciplinary exchange of information. The approach to the topic ranges from theoretical to applied, molecular to organismic and single to multivariable systems.
