Rice plants take up iron as an Fe3+-phytosiderophore and as Fe2+. (2006, background): “For example, it has been predicted that OsIRT1 has eight transmembrane domains and a variable intracellular loop between transmembrane region (TM) 3 and TM4 with a fully conserved histidine residue, which is potentially involved in intramembranous heavy-metal binding (Eng et al., 1998; Guerinot, 200”
Zn Uptake and Translocation in Rice Plants (2011, background): “The most-conserved region of these proteins lies in a variable region that has been predicted to form an amphipathic helix, containing a fully conserved histidine that may form part of an intramembranous metal-binding site involved in transport (Guerinot 2000).”
Physiology and molecular biology of stress tolerance in plants (2006, background): “Proteins, such as RuBisCO, ascorbate peroxidase, and D1 of PSII, virtually disappear in these upper leaves during the dry summer season, and thus, become photosynthetically dormant (Mittler et al., 2001).”
Iron uptake, translocation, and regulation in higher plants. (2012, background): “The ZIP (zinc-regulated transporter, iron-regulated transporter–like protein) family was first discovered as a homolog of Arabidopsis IRT1; it transports various divalent metals, including Fe2+, zinc (Zn)2+, manganese (Mn)2+, cadmium (Cd)2+, nickel (Ni)2+, and cobalt (Co)2+ (30, 57, 81, 94).”
Iron homeostasis related genes in rice (2003, background): “Members of the ZIP family are amongst the most studied metal transporters in plants (Guerinot, 2000; Mäser et al., 2001).”
The Physiological, Biochemical, and Molecular Roles of Zinc Transporters in Zinc Homeostasis and Metabolism. (2015, background): “Then, zinc-regulated transporter 1 (Zrt1) and Zrt2 were discovered in S. cerevisiae using the sequence of Irt1 (460, 461).”
Heavy metal stress and responses in plants (2019, background): “The transporters belonging to ZIP gene family are found to be responsible in the transport of various different cations such as cadmium, 1 3 iron, manganese and zinc; understanding these in detail can help us in furthering our understanding of them contending with heavy metal stress (Guerinot 2000).”
Mechanisms of metal resistance in plants: aluminum and heavy metals (2002, background): “…and demonstrates significant sequence identity with the Arabidopsis genes ZIP4 and IRT1, which encode putative Zn and Fe transporters, respectively (Eide et al., 1996; Grotz et al., 1998) and are members of the ZIP family of micronutrient transport proteins (Eng et al., 1998; Guerinot, 2000).”
The Genetic Basis of Metal Hyperaccumulation in Plants (2002, background): “One important superfamily of metal-ion transporters known from bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes is the ZIP (Zinc-Iron Permease) gene family (Guerinot, 2000; Williams et al., 2000), of which 15 members have been identified in the Arabidopsis thaliana genome (Mäser et al., 2001; see http://…”

(2002, background): “IRT1 is one of three founding members of the ZIP (for ZRT-IRT–like proteins) family of transporters that function in metal transport in a diverse array of eukaryotic organisms (Guerinot, 2000).”
