Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) deficiency is prevalent in plants grown in neutral or alkaline soil. Plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms that regulate Fe homeostasis, ensuring survival. In Arabidopsis, FER-LIKE IRON DEFICIENCY-INDUCED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR (FIT) is a crucial regulator of Fe-deficiency response. FIT is activated indirectly by basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) IVc transcription factors (TFs) under Fe deficiency;...
