expression the gene AtFRO6 under the control of a 35S promoter in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi plants using the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 for transfection. Ferric reductase activity in leaves of transgenic plants grown under iron-sufficient or iron-deficient conditions is 2.13 and 1.26fold higher than in control plants, respectively. Light-responsive elements within the FRO6 promoter regionmediate gene activation on exposure to light	Arabidopsis thaliana

General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
additional information	ferric reductase activity in leaves of transgenic plants grown under iron-sufficient or iron-deficient conditions is 2.13 and 1.26fold higher than in control plants, respectively. The enhanced ferric reductase activity leads to increased concentrations of ferrous iron and chlorophyll, and reduces the iron deficiency chlorosis in the transgenic plants, compared to the control plants. In roots, the concentration of ferrous iron and ferric reductase activity are not significantly different in the transgenic plants compared to the control plants, phenotype, overview	Arabidopsis thaliana
