Sentence examples for major root iron from inspiring English sources

In plants, IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (isthe is the major root iron transporter but is also responsible for the absorption of other divalent metals such as manganese, zinc and cobalt.

To gain further insight into the iron physiological status of the plants, the root iron reductase activity was measured in both iron efficient and inefficient genotypes for plants grown under iron sufficient and iron limited conditions.

Iron reductase activity is known to be the rate-limiting enzyme for iron uptake since iron transporters, which are the other important element of root iron acquisition, do not reach saturation at normally achieved concentrations of ferrous iron [ 27].

The objective of this study was to evaluate iron reductase activity in common bean roots and to analyze the possible role of root iron reduction in the accumulation of seed iron.

Iron reductase activity is known to vary with plant growth conditions (e.g., soil pH and available iron concentration) and mutants in pea have been useful for analyzing the role of iron reduction in root iron acquisition [ 14].

Root iron plaques are a ubiquitous feature of wetland systems, forming a discontinuous precipitate that encapsulates the roots of not only rice but also many other aquatic plants.

This was especially evident with DOR364, G19833, and other genotypes, where at low iron concentrations (1 μM Fe but not 0 μM Fe) root iron reduction was 2.5 times the activity under higher iron concentrations (10 μM Fe and above).

These iron bogs became a major resource for iron production for close to 100 years, with 17 furnaces operating at one point, manufacturing cast- and wrought-iron goods.

As a major orchestrator of iron homeostasis [11], hepcidin binds to the iron exporter ferroportin and negatively regulates cellular iron release into circulation [12].

Hepcidin is a major regulator of iron metabolism and plays a key role in anemia of chronic disease, reducing intestinal iron uptake and release from body iron stores.
