Iron is an element abundant in the earth’s crust. However, at high pH and high bicarbonate content of calcareous soils, the availability of Fe to plants is often reduced. The deficiency of bioavailable Fe leads to a characteristic chlorotic phenotype that begins to develop in the youngest leaves. Iron deficiency chlorosis is a common nutritional disorder affecting plants and one of the major limiting factors for crop production in many areas of the world (Vose 1982, Alloway 2008). To maintain Fe homeostasis, plants have evolved mechanisms to acquire Fe under conditions of limited availability. Maize, like other Fe-deficient grasses, respond to Fe deficiency through the so-called Strategy II, which includes 1) the release of phytosiderophores (PSs) for chelate FeIII (ferric) ions in soil and 2) the induction of a transporter specific for FeIII-PS complex in the root cell plasma membrane (Römheld and Marschner 1986). Plant PSs belong to the mugineic acid (MA) family of chelators (Hell and Stephan 2003). Both reactions of this chelationbased strategy enhanced in response to Fe deficiency are directed to improve Fe uptake. In maize, the Yellow Stripe 1 (YS1) gene encoding FeIII-PS transporter was firstly identified by Curie et al. (2001). It has been suggested that the maize YS1 (ZmYS1) is involved in both primary Fe acquisition and intracellular transport of Fe and other metals","PeriodicalId":8912,"journal":{"name":"Biologia Plantarum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44602256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, climate change appears to have increased in recent years, and more changes are expected in the next decades concerning plant growth and adaptation to their environments (Cernoch and Kopecky 2020). Abiotic stresses such as drought or cold stress affect plants by harming the metabolic machinery; it can also perturb the equilibrium of the production and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the plant cell, which alters negatively plant growth and development (Sharma et al. 2019).

The proline content in plant cells increases manifold in response to an increase or decrease in temperature, to drought, soil salinity, nutrient deficiency, increased UV radiation, or exposure to heavy metals resulting in plant osmotic stress (Kuznetsov and Shevyakova 1999). An increase in cell proline leads to the modulation of cell pressure potential, thereby creating an osmotic balance, stabilizes cell membranes, protein and enzyme structures, preventing electrolyte leakage in the cell and oxidative stress. Thus, proline acts as a signalling molecule of stress response in plants (Hayat et al. 2012). Changes in proline content are just one of many plant stress responses: physiological, morphological, and anatomical (Hameed et al. 2010, Ilyas et al. 2020).
