Review reveals essential roles of nicotianamine in plant iron acquisition, highlighting its universal function in metal chelation and vascular transport.

Key Points

To review the distribution, biochemical functions, and regulatory roles of nicotianamine across plant species utilizing strategy I and strategy II iron acquisition mechanisms.
Synthesized physiological and biochemical findings on nicotianamine occurrence across multicellular plant species, including the chloronerva tomato mutant.
Evaluated metabolic pathways linking L-methionine to phytosiderophore biosynthesis, divalent metal chelation, and accumulation in iron-deficient barley roots.
Nicotianamine was established as a ubiquitous chelator for Fe(II) and other divalent transition metals present across multicellular plants, with chloronerva being the only known deficient mutant.
In strategy II plants, nicotianamine acts as an obligatory intermediate for phytosiderophore synthesis, while in both strategies it governs iron deficiency responses, iron enzyme function, and phloem transport.
