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