DESCRIPTION:Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) are essential for virtually every biol
 ogical process. Our understanding of acquisition and distribution pathways
  for these micronutrients\, however\, is still limited. Relevant as enviro
 nmental factors for plants are not only macro- and microelements\, but als
 o potentially highly toxic elements without biological function\, e.g. cad
 mium (Cd) and arsenic (As).\nHuman well-being depends in many ways on the 
 ionome of plants. Plant-derived food is a major source of micronutrients\,
  and an estimated three billion people are threatened by Zn or Fe deficien
 cy. Furthermore\, most of the human cadmium intake and a large fraction of
  the arsenic intake is due to the consumption of plants. Thus\, we need to
  better understand the pathways determining metal accumulation in plants. 
 The talk will focus on two aspects\, namely mechanisms controlling Zn accu
 mulation in plants\, and on thiolated arsenic species that potentially pos
 e a food safety threat.
