Feruloyl-CoA 6′-Hydroxylase1-dependent coumarins mediate iron acquisition from alkaline substrates in Arabidopsis

NB Schmid, RFH Giehl, S Döll, HP Mock… - Plant …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Although iron (Fe) is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust, its low solubility
in soils restricts Fe uptake by plants. Most plant species acquire Fe by acidifying the …

COSY catalyses transcis isomerization and lactonization in the biosynthesis of coumarins
