SOD-GIF-FIT module controls plant organ size and iron uptake

Trends Plant Sci. 2024 May;29(5):497-500. doi: 10.1016/j.tplants.2023.11.001. Epub 2023 Nov 15.

Abstract

Plant organ growth is controlled by various internal and external cues. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that coordinate plant organ growth and nutrient homeostasis remain largely unknown. Recently, Zheng et al. identified the key regulators SOD7 (suppressor of da1-1) and GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR1 (GIF1) that control organ size and iron uptake in arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

Keywords: GIF1; SOD7; iron uptake; nutrient homeostasis; organ size.
