In plants, iron is also required for photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis. The availability of iron in soils dictates the distribution of plant species in natural ecosystems and limits yield and nutritional quality of crops. Insufficient iron uptake causes retarded growth, interveinal chlorosis, and reduced fitness.

 · Although iron is an essential nutrient for plants, its accumulation within cells can be toxic. Plants, therefore, respond to both iron deficiency and iron excess by inducing expression of different gene sets. Here, we review recent advances in the understanding of iron homeostasis in plants gained through functional genomic approaches.

Iron is required for the biosynthesis of the chlorophyll molecule and functions as an electron carrier in the respiration and photosynthesis reactions. In addition, it participates in many enzymatic processes. Iron deficiency is a limiting factor of plant growth. Iron is present at high quantities in soils, but its availability to plants is usually very

In plants, iron deficiency leads to reduced chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis, and iron-deficient plants show symptoms of chlorosis and dramatic growth defects. Conversely, excessive iron is deleterious because free iron produces hydroxyl radicals by the Fenton reaction ( Fenton, 1894 ).

 · Introduction. Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Although abundant in the Earth's crust, bioavailable Fe is often limited under alkaline and oxidative conditions (Imsande 1998).To cope with Fe deficiency, plants have evolved two major strategies to take up Fe from the rhizosphere: strategy I in non …

 · Thus, strategy I plants appear to employ two different iron uptake mechanisms, FRO2/IRT1-dependent iron uptake, which works best at slightly acidic conditions, and …

Abstract Hypersensitive response (HR) cell death is the most effective plant immune response restricting fungal pathogen invasion. Here, we report that incompatible rice ( Oryza sativa) Magnaporthe oryzae interactions induce iron- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent ferroptotic cell death in rice cells.

 · Background Plants require iron for a large number of metabolic processes. Due to its low availability in high pH soils, and the impaired acquisition by roots, iron chlorosis is one of the most important limiting factors on plant development in many countries. Scope This editorial paper gives an overview of the latest aspects related to iron nutrition …

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient that affects the growth and development of plants because it participates as a cofactor in numerous physiological and biochemical reactions. As a transition metal, Fe is redox active. Fe often exists in soil in the form of insoluble ferric hydroxides that are not bioavailable to plants.

 · essential elements. Iron is taken up by plant roots in greatest amounts in the zone of the root between cell elongation and maturation, about 1 to 4 cm behind the root tip. Uptake of Fe by the plant is an active process, that is, energy is expended by the plant to take in Fe. Iron uptake is dependent on the plant's ability to reduce Fe+++ to Fe++

 · Iron homeostasis in plants Iron uptake, transport, and storage in plants Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Despite this abundance, its bioavailability for organisms is very low in aerobic environments, because ferric iron (Fe 3+), which is the major valence state, reacts with oxygen to form insoluble ferric ...
