CrMAPK3 regulates the expression of iron-deficiency-responsive genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

摘要

BackgroundUnder iron-deficient conditions, Chlamydomonas exhibits high affinity for iron absorption. Nevertheless, the response, transmission, and regulation of downstream gene expression in algae cells have not to be investigated. Considering that the MAPK pathway is essential for abiotic stress responses, we determined whether this pathway is involved in iron deficiency signal transduction in Chlamydomonas.
