Abstract
This paper reviewes recent work on the cloning genes encoding enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway of the mugineic acid family of phytosiderophores or the trial of the cloning of Fe (III)-MAs transporter. The Fe-deficiency induced genes which have been cloned in barley roots are nicotianamine aminotransferase (naat), formate dehydrogenase (Fdh), adenine phosphoribosyl-transferase (Aprt), alcoholdehydrogenase (Adh), and the iron deficiency specific clones Ids1, Ids2 and Ids3. SAM synthetase (sam) was not induced by Fe deficiency. Genes of nicotianamine synthetase (nas) and a 36kD-peptide were not successfully cloned. The physiological importance of these genes are discussed.
