abstract = "The functions of iron, manganese, copper, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, boron, and chlorine in plants are discussed. Iron
(Fe) plays a crucial role in redox systems in cells and in various enzymes. The strategies of dicotyledonous and graminaceous
plants to acquire Fe are described. Manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) are important for redox systems and as
activators of various enzymes involved in photosynthesis, detoxification of superoxide radicals, and the synthesis of lignin.
Zinc (Zn) plays a key role in the structural and functional integrity of cell membranes, biosynthesis of proteins and
detoxification of superoxide radicals. Nickel (Ni) is involved in nitrogen (N) metabolism as metal component of the
enzyme urease. Molybdenum (Mo) is important for N metabolism as metal component of nitrogenase (N2 fixation) and
nitrate reductase. Boron (B) is crucial for the stability and function of cell wall and membranes, whereas chlorine (Cl)
is essential for the proper functioning of photosystem II (PS II) and cell osmotic regulation. For each micronutrient, the
effects of deficiency and toxicity are described.",
