Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) deficiency causes anemia in humans and yield losses in crops. Increasing Fe concentration in plants would be beneficial for agriculture and global health. The allelochemical L-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)alanine (L-DOPA) can promote Fe accumulation, and its potential use for Fe biofortification was investigated. L-DOPA was exogenously supplied to Arabidopsis thaliana, and the expression of Fe deficiency...
