The paper covers present-day methods of diagnosis, treatment, primary and secondary prophylaxis of iron deficiency anemia. Serum ferritin determination useful for evaluating total iron deposits in the body is thought to allow early diagnosis. Oral administration of iron preparations is recommended as more advantageous. It is emphasized that the disease treatment should not be discontinued after recovery of normal hemoglobin values. The next therapeutic measures are to provide normal levels of serum iron and ferritin.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.
