Abstract:There are two Fe-uptake strategies for maintaining Fe homeostasis in plants. As a special graminaceous plant, rice applies both strategies. However, it remains unclear how these two strategies are regulated in rice. IRON-RELATED BHLH TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 2 (OsIRO2) is critical for regulating Fe uptake in rice. In this study, we identified an interacting partner of OsIRO2, Oryza sativa FER-LIKE FE DEFICIENCY-INDUCED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR (OsFIT), which encodes a bHLH transcription factor. The OsIRO2 protein is l… Show more
