Cellular and whole organism aspects of iron transport and storage in plants

Abstract

Plants depend upon iron for their growth and development. However, availability of this metal is low in soils, because of its insolubility at basic pH in presence of oxygen. Plants have, therefore, evolved various mechanisms to actively acquire iron from the soil, based either on reducing or chelating strategies. The molecular characterization of these uptake systems and the regulation of their synthesis have been widely documented the last few years. Distribution of iron to the various parts of a plant, and its compartmentation in various subcellular organelles is also described, but the molecular determinants required for these functions are yet poorly documented. Beside transport activities to establish iron homeostasis in plants, storage is also an important parameter. Part of this function is achieved by ferritins. These iron storage proteins are located within the plastids in plants, and regulated by iron at a transcriptional level.
