Samuelsen, Andrew Ira

Abstract:

A key mechanism utilized by plants to make iron (Fe) available for uptake is the reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) via an inducible, plasma membrane-bound Fe(III) reductase. Genes encoding such enzymes have not yet been isolated from plants; however, two Fe(III) reductases have been cloned from yeast. FRE1 and FRE2...
