Iron (Fe) is essential for life because of its role in protein cofactors. Photosynthesis, in
particular photosynthetic electron transport, has a very high demand for Fe cofactors. Fe is …

Chloroplasts originated about three billion years ago by endosymbiosis of an ancestor of
today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. During evolution …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for plants, utilized in nearly every cellular process. Because
the adjustment of uptake under Fe limitation cannot satisfy all demands, plants need to …

Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), and copper (Cu) are essential cofactors for the
operation of the oxygenic photosynthetic electron transfer apparatus. The overall metal …

Significance: Photosynthesis, the process that drives life on earth, relies on transition metal
(eg, Fe and Cu) containing proteins that participate in electron transfer in the chloroplast …

While research on iron nutrition in plants has largely focused on iron-uptake pathways,
photosynthetic microbes such as the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

Approximately 40% of global photosynthesis is conducted by phytoplankton in aquatic
environments. Cyanobacteria, Gram-negative photoautotrophic prokaryotes, contribute …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for human nutrition. Given that plants represent a major
dietary source of Fe worldwide, it is crucial to understand plant Fe homeostasis fully. A major …

A full-genome microarray of the (oxy) photosynthetic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.
PCC 6803 was used to identify genes that were transcriptionally regulated by growth in iron …

Iron is an essential redox component of most living organisms. It is particularly important to
photoautotrophs, such as cyanobacteria, in which it is a crucial part of the protein complexes …
