Welcome to the COST Action 19116 "Trace metal metabolism in plants - PLANTMETALS"!

The challenge of this Action is, as described in more detail in the

Memorandum of Understanding (citation):

"PLANTMETALS tackles basic and applied issues related to trace metal deficiency or excess levels in plant physiology and crop production by the combined expertise of physiologists, (bio)physicists, (bio)(geo)chemists, molecular geneticists, ecologists, agronomists and soil scientists. Knowledge will be translated to the needs of farmers and consumers, with inputs from companies."
