Review demonstrates the impact of iron availability on thylakoid protein composition and chlorophyll biosynthesis in plants, highlighting essential mechanisms of chloroplast function.
This article reviews the current state of knowledge of the roles of iron in chloroplast structure and function and in chloroplast development. The uptake and transport of iron to leaves and the relationship of chlorophyll to leaf iron content are also reviewed briefly. In addition, we present some original data on the protein composition of thylakoid membranes and on chlorophyll biosynthesis as affected by iron deficiency and resupply.
