This project investigates how plants sense iron, focusing on specific genes identified in two model species. It aims to understand the mechanisms of iron sensing in roots and shoots, exploring potential protein functions and their roles in regulating iron levels without toxicity.
Iron (Fe) is needed for all living organisms but in high concentrations within the cell it is toxic, therefore balancing the physiological level of iron is essential.
Although the Fe sensing mechanism has been described for a wide variety of living forms, from bacteria to mammals, no clear information about how plants sense Fe is available.
Whether or not Fe is sensed in roots or in shoots or in both, the chemical form of the Fe or the identity of the sensing protein, remains unknown.
