Iron-deficiency-induced changes in wild type and IRP1overexpressed transgenic Arabidopsis plants
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: a novel orphan peptide, IRON-REGULATED PROTEIN1 (IRP1) that is rapidly induced by Fe deficiency and improves growth on Fe-deplete media. In Arabidopsis, ectopic expression of IRP1 affected the activity of several genes involved in Fe acquisition and homeostasis, causing a dramatic increase of Fe in leaves and enhanced seed Fe loading. Heterologous expression of IRP1 in tomato plants resulted in increased Fe levels in fruits. Integration of AtIRP1 into the genome of crop plants may represent a novel strategy for Fe biofortification.
