The barley cultivar Sarab 1 (SRB1) can continue photosynthesis despite its low Fe acquisition potential via roots and dramatically reduced amounts of photosystem I (PSI) reaction-center proteins under Fe-deficient conditions. We compared the characteristics of photosynthetic electron transfer (ET), thylakoid ultrastructure, and Fe and protein distribution on thylakoid membranes among barley cultivars. The Fe-deficient SRB1 had a large proportion of functional PSI proteins by avoiding P700 over-reduction.
