Iron uptake, trafficking and homeostasis in plants (2003, background): “This points to a function of NA as a mediator between different forms of iron storage and iron homeostasis for cellular processes (Fig. 3; Stephan and Scholz 1993; Stephan et al. 1996; Pich et al. 2001).”
Plant Responses to Heavy Metal Toxicity (2012, background): “NA chelates Fe, Cu, and Zn in complexes (Stephan et al. 1996) and then accumulates within vacuoles (Pich et al. 1997); it is not secreted from the roots (Stephan and Scholz 1993).”
Phytoremediation of Metals Using Transgenic Plants (2002, background): “Different chelators may be involved in translocation of metal cations through the xylem (Figure 1), such as organic acid chelators (e.g. malate, citrate, histidine, Salt et al., 1995a; von Wiren et al., 1999), or nicotianamine (Stephan et al., 1996; von Wiren et al., 1999).”
In vivo analysis of metal distribution and expression of metal transporters in rice seed during germination process by microarray and X-ray Fluorescence Imaging of Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu (2009, background): “Nicotianamine (NA), an intermediate in the MA biosynthetic pathway, is also thought to be involved in the long-distance transport of metal cations in the plant body (Stephan and Scholz 1993; Higuchi et al. 1996; Pich and Scholz 1996; Stephan et al. 1996; Ling et al. 1999; Takahashi et al. 2003).”
Phytoremediation. (2005, background): “Nicotianamine also chelates metals and may facilitate their transport (115, 127).”
Phytoremediation of heavy metals: Recent techniques (2009, background): “Different chelators may be involved in the translocation of metal cations through the xylem, such as organic acid chelators [malate, citrate, histidine (Salt et al., 1995b; von Wiren et al., 1999), or nicotianamine (Stephen et al., 1996; von Wiren et al., 1999)].”
Overexpression of the Barley Nicotianamine Synthase Gene HvNAS1 Increases Iron and Zinc Concentrations in Rice Grains (2009, background): “Indeed, the NA-defective tomato mutant chloronerva (Rudolph et al. 1985) presents a phenotype indicative of Fe deficiency (Pich and Scholz 1996; Stephan et al. 1996).”
