Effect of citrate overproduction on iron nutrition in plants

  • Chapter
Book cover Plant Nutrition

Abstract

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Sorghum sp. plants that overproduce citrate have been generated. These plants have been biochemically and genetically analyzed and used to study the role of organic acids in the iron nutrition of plants. Preliminary results reflect a possible participation of citrate in the acquisition and internal iron movilization in both species.
