With the advances in mass spectrometry techniques, a substantial body of knowledge has arisen on the changes in the protein profiles of different plant parts and compartments as a result of Fe deficiency. However, little is known about Mg's roles in plant secondary metabolism. On account of iron's poor bioavailability on the one hand, and its potential toxicity on the other hand, plant cells must carefully regulate iron uptake. Also, the impact of iron (Fe) deficiency on seed dormancy is still unexplored; this is surprising, given the known pro-oxidant role of Fe when in a free form. 0000107047 00000 n 0000176653 00000 n /SM 0.02 It is important for the development and function of chlorophyll and a range of enzymes and proteins. 0000097281 00000 n /Subtype /Image role of iron in plants Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF. 0000436357 00000 n 0000468364 00000 n 0000345190 00000 n 0000195360 00000 n /Type /ExtGState /Title (�� R o l e o f i r o n i n p l a n t s p d f) 0000227393 00000 n 0000022442 00000 n 11. 0000026568 00000 n 0001379135 00000 n 0000564184 00000 n 0000500479 00000 n 0000432182 00000 n /SA true Iron plays a significant role in various physiological and biochemical pathways in plants. 0000313943 00000 n 0000172302 00000 n Iron, in small amounts, is essential for healthy plant growth and is classed as a micronutrient. /Type /XObject Green plants can make their own organic food from 0000053763 00000 n 0000007156 00000 n 0000533994 00000 n 0000107311 00000 n 0000467849 00000 n 0000429252 00000 n 0000431964 00000 n 0000192485 00000 n 0000548833 00000 n It also plays a role in respiration, nitrogen fixation, energy transfer and metabolism. 0000006087 00000 n Iron helps in the formation of chlorophyll. 0000096657 00000 n 0000533881 00000 n 0000095821 00000 n << 0000018137 00000 n Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis.
