In the dynamic environment of plants, the interplay between light-dependent growth and iron nutrition is a recurring challenge. Plants respond to low iron levels by adjusting growth and physiology through enhanced iron acquisition from the rhizosphere and internal iron pool reallocation. Iron deficiency response assays and gene co-expression networks aid in documenting physiological reactions and unraveling gene regulatory cascades, offering insight into the interplay between hormonal and external signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
  • Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plants, and its uptake is regulated to prevent toxicity, with the POPEYE (PYE) transcription factor playing a key role in this process.
  • In PYE's absence, plants exhibit altered Fe distribution leading to leaf chlorosis, and levels of certain genes (NAS4, FRO3, ZIF1) increase.
  • The study identifies a protein called OLIVIA (OLV), which interacts with PYE, and suggests that OLV may play a role in linking iron homeostasis to leaf growth regulation.

Cellular homeostasis of the micronutrient iron is highly regulated in plants and responsive to nutrition, stress, and developmental signals. Genes for iron management encode metal and other transporters, enzymes synthesizing chelators and reducing substances, transcription factors, and several types of regulators. In transcriptome or proteome datasets, such iron homeostasis-related genes are frequently found to be differentially regulated.

In light of climate change and human population growth one of the most challenging tasks is to generate plants that are Fe-efficient, resilient to low Fe supply and Fe-biofortified. For such endeavors, it is crucial to understand the regulation of Fe acquisition and allocation in plants. One open question is how identified Fe-regulatory proteins comprising positive and negative regulators act together to steer Fe homeostasis.
