In vitro nicotianamine synthase activity was measured in tobacco under Fe-deficient or Fe-sufficient conditions. Its activity was not induced by Fe-deficiency, in contrast to barley roots, implying that the molecular biological regulation of nicotianamine synthase in response to Fe-deficiency may be different between tobacco and barley.
