Under zinc (Zn) deficiency, plants take up excess iron (Fe), but the uptake is inhibited under Zn excess. Coordination between intracellular recycling, transport, and sensing is essential for Zn-Fe homeostasis. A new study shows that autophagy resupplies Zn and Fe to correct intracellular Zn-Fe imbalances.
