Pages 609-646 | Published online: 21 Nov 2008
 

Abstract

This article reviews the current state of knowledge of the roles of iron in chloroplast structure and function and in chloroplast development. The uptake and transport of iron to leaves and the relationship of chlorophyll to leaf iron content are also reviewed briefly. In addition, we present some original data on the protein composition of thylakoid membranes and on chlorophyll biosynthesis as affected by iron deficiency and resupply.
