Ferritin is present in almost all species and was detected in many cells, mainly in tissues not associated with full photosynthetic activity and throughout the plant life cycle. It is quite interesting that phytoferritin from an algal source has not been reported except soms initial short, indirect evidence on its presence in algae (Abadi and Dubois-Tylski 1974)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
