Abstract

Translocation studies of ⁵⁹Fe(III)-epihydroxymugineic acid in intact barley plants revealed that Fe transport from leaf veins to mesophyll cells is light-regulated. Similarly, Fe absorption studies with isolated chloroplasts showed that the Fe influx is light-dependent whereas its efflux occurred in the dark.
