被引用回数:130 パーセンタイル:93.37(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Fe deficiency is a worldwide agricultural problem on calcareous soils. Rice plants use a well documented phytosiderophore-based system to take up Fe from the soil. Rice plants are extremely susceptible to low-Fe supply, however, because of low phytosiderophore secretion and low Fe reduction activity. A yeast Fe chelate-reductase gene , selected for better performance at high pH, was fused to the promoter of the Fe-regulated transporter, , and introduced into rice plants. The transgene was expressed in response to a low-Fe nutritional status in roots of transformants. Transgenic rice plants expressing the gene showed higher Fe chelate-reductase activity and a higher Fe-uptake rate than vector controls under Fe-deficient conditions. Consequently, transgenic rice plants exhibited an enhanced tolerance to low-Fe availability and 7.9x the grain yield of nontransformed plants in calcareous soils.

Real-time PCR analysis revealed that and are expressed predominantly in roots, and these transporters are induced by low-Fe condition. Analysis using the positron-emitting tracer imaging system showed that rice plants are able to take up both an Fe-phytosiderophore and Fe. This result indicates that, in addition to absorbing an Fe-phytosiderophore, rice possesses a novel Fe-uptake system that directly absorbs the Fe, a strategy that is advantageous for growth in submerged conditions.
