Isolation and characterization of Fe(III)-chelate reductase gene LeFRO1 in tomato.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Jan 2004

Li Lihua, Cheng Xudong, Ling Hong-Qing

Abstract excerpt

Tomato is a model plant for studying molecular mechanisms of iron uptake and metabolism in strategy I plants (dicots and non-graminaceous monocots). Reduction of ferric to ferrous iron on the root surface is an obligatory process for iron acquisition from soil in these plants. LeFRO1 encoding an Fe(III)-chelate reductase protein was isolated from the tomato genome. We show that expression of LeFRO1 in yeast...
