  • Title: Regulated redox processes at the plasmalemma of plant root cells and their function in iron uptake.
    Author: Bienfait HF.
    Journal: J Bioenerg Biomembr; 1985 Apr; 17(2):73-83. PubMed ID: 3158648.
    Abstract:
    Plants take up iron as ferric chelates or, after reduction, as ferrous ions. Ferric reduction takes place at the plasma membrane of the root epidermis cells by a transmembrane redox system, which can be activated when iron is getting short. It is proposed that this inducible system, with NADPH as electron donor, is separate from a system, presumably present in all plant cells, which transports electrons from NADH or NADPH to ferricyanide, or, in vivo, oxygen.
