C. Project summary for public dissemination<br />

Provide an updated project summary including the progress of the project of 150 – 300 words for<br />

public dissemination. The summary could be published and can be used for other websites (e.g. the<br />

sites of the national funding organisations) and within publications such as the <strong>mid</strong>-<strong>term</strong> report of the<br />

PLANT KBBE 2008 programme.<br />

Iron is one of the most abundant metals on the earth’s crust. However, its redox properties make it an<br />

element with low bioavailability, particularly in basic soil. Approximately 30% of the world’s arable soils<br />

are thus iron deficient and because plants represent the major source for iron in human nutrition<br />

almost 25% of the world population is affected by iron deficiency, a leading cause of anemia. In plants,<br />

iron deficiency results in severe chlorosis as well as reduced productivity and quality of crops. This<br />

essential element is involved in several vital processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, sulphur<br />

and nitrogen assimilation and chlorophyll catabolism. Nevertheless this redox metal has a high<br />

reactivity and can generate the <strong>form</strong>ation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, iron<br />

homeostasis has to be tightly regulated to prevent oxidative stress. The photosynthetic machinery,<br />

which is localised in chloroplasts, requires high iron for electron transport. Thus, chloroplasts<br />

represent a plat<strong>form</strong> controlling iron homeostasis (transport and storage) at the cellular level.<br />

However, molecular processes controlling iron homeostasis in chloroplasts are still unknown and<br />

might affect plant productivity under iron excess or deficiency.<br />

With the permease PIC1 (Fe-transport) and ferritin (Fe-storage) the project HOT IRON works on key<br />

components of chloroplast iron homeostasis in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It was shown that<br />

function of both proteins is essential for plant productivity and seed yield. Coordinated screening of<br />

mutants (transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and phenotyping) under iron deficiency and<br />

overload is used to identify new players involved in crosstalk between iron and ROS metabolism in<br />

leaves. First results point to the involvement of a chloroplast ABC-transporter. For transfer to crop<br />

species, the corresponding genes have been identified in peach and cucumber. Results will be used<br />

to modify and improve processes controlling productivity, growth and yield of these crop species.<br />

D2. Activities<br />

Describe the activities that have been per<strong>form</strong>ed to meet the objectives given in the proposal. Indicate<br />

for each activity the partners involved (PX, PY,..).<br />

For consortia with three or four partners this item should not exceed two pages. Larger consortia may<br />

use at maximum three pages.<br />

(i)1: Screen to identify new key players linking iron homeostasis and transport.<br />

- Microarray experiments on three different mutant plants under three different conditions have been<br />

per<strong>form</strong>ed and analysed (P1, P2).<br />

- A database has been constructed to integrate and distribute results (P1, P4).<br />

- With the chloroplast membrane localised ABC transporter ATH12 a candidate, which could be<br />

involved in iron chloroplast export was integrated into the project (P2).<br />

(i)2: Screening for membrane transporters of Fe III chelates by yeast complementation.<br />

- cDNA library made from Fe-deficient Arabidopsis plants and isolation of an inositol transporter gene<br />

(AtINT1) improving yeast growth under Fe deficiency. However, knock-out and overexpression in<br />

Arabidopsis without phenotype (P3).<br />

- Establishment of screening conditions for Arabidopsis mutant lines on agar (P3).<br />

(i)3: Screening for genes improving growth of Arabidopsis lines on a calcareous substrate.<br />

- Screening conditions were optimised, screening started in April 2010 (P3).<br />

- Selection of some promising candidate lines and confirmation of Fe deficiency-induced chlorosis by<br />

Fe resupply (P3).<br />

- Confirmation of observed phenotype on Fe-deficient agar media by chlorophyll de<strong>term</strong>inations,<br />

assessment of root morphology and Fe uptake analysis (P3).<br />

(i)4: Identification of factors limiting iron retranslocation and distribution.<br />

- Phenotypes of iron homeostasis mutants (pic1, fer, ath12) have been analysed under Fe-sufficient,<br />

Fe-deficient, and Fe-rich conditions (P1, P2, P3, P4).<br />

- Due to difficulties with existing PIC1 mutants, we started generating conditional PIC1 mutants (P1).<br />

(ii)2: Characteristics of iron transport across membranes analysed by SURFE 2 R technique.<br />

- Since Oktober 2010, the SURFE 2 R technique is established in the laboratory of P1.<br />

(iii)1: Identification of orthologous genes in peach and cucumber.<br />

- Orthologous genes to key players in Fe homoeostasis and transport have been identified in peach<br />

and integrated into the database (P4).<br />

- In cucumber, genes corresponding to Fe-transport and homeostasis are used as controls in<br />

experiments of P5.<br />

(iii)2: Changes at the transcriptional, protein and metabolite levels of major iron homeostasis players in<br />

iron-sufficient, iron-deficient and iron-rich plants.<br />

- Conditions to grow plants under Fe-sufficiency, -deficiency, and –excess have been tested and<br />

established for large scale analysis (P2, P3).<br />

(iii)4: Design of new iron fertilisers.<br />

- Preliminary works to carry out tests with new Fe fertilizers were developed (P4, P5; starting date<br />

month 18).<br />

D3. Problems and changes in workplan<br />

Describe any difficulties and problems that have hindered the achievement of the planned objectives<br />

and any changes with respect to the original objectives and the workplan (maximum 1 page).<br />

(i)2: Screening for membrane transporters of Fe III chelates by yeast complementation.<br />

The workplan is behind schedule, because one PhD student left the project due to health reasons,<br />

however, a new PhD candidate (S. Eroglu) has been found who started in October 2010.<br />

Since the isolated gene AtINT1only yielded a strong phenotype in yeast but not in planta, the yeast<br />

complementation approach was stopped and replaced by a screening approach for Arabidopsis<br />

mutant collections on Fe-deficient agar.<br />

(i)3: Screening for genes improving growth of Arabidopsis lines on a calcareous substrate.<br />

Because only a limited number of seeds was provided by gene stocks (NASC Nottingham) for<br />

screening Arabidopsis mutant pools a timely confirmation of phenotypes of potential candidates was<br />

delayed, as seeds need to be amplified prior to detailed analysis (P3).<br />

The screening procedures takes longer than expected, because composition of substrate is variable<br />

and requires re-calibration of screening conditions when going from one batch to another and<br />

remediation of chlorotic phenotypes by Fe resupply requires more experimental proofs (P3).<br />

Due to the new recruitment of personnel, a cost-neutral prolongation is required to fulfil the workplan.<br />

(i)4: Identification of factors limiting iron retranslocation and distribution during plant senescence.<br />

Fe retranslocation experiments conducted in senescing barley plants and Fe analysis completed (P3).<br />

(ii)1: Phenotypical analysis of iron homeostasis mutants.<br />

Large scale analysis of existing PIC1 knockout and overexpressing lines (Fe-import into chloroplasts)<br />

proofed to be inefficient due to very strong chlorosis and death of mature plants. Therefore, the<br />

generation of conditional PIC1 mutants is under way and mutants of the potential fe-exporter from<br />

chloroplasts ATH12 were integrated into the study.<br />

(ii)2: Characteristics of iron transport across membranes analysed by SURFE 2 R technique.<br />

Because of the insolvency of the private sub-contractor IonGate, the experiments with the SURFE 2 R<br />

technique could not be per<strong>form</strong>ed as planned and the workplan was delayed by about one year. Since<br />

P1 has bought and installed a SURFE 2 R modul in September 2010, experimental conditions are now<br />

established in the lab of P1.<br />

D4. Collaboration, human mobility and training within the consortium<br />

- Describe how coordination takes place (coordination meetings, communications, etc.)<br />

- Describe the added value accomplished by collaboration among partners of the consortium. Refer<br />

explicitly to joint milestones and deliverables produced during the reporting period.<br />

- Describe any sharing of facilities within the consortium.<br />

- Describe any exchange of researchers and trainees between partners of the consortium.<br />

- Coordination of meetings, communications and experiments constantly takes place via Email contact<br />

of the PIs and researchers. During the reporting period we organised two internal meetings for<br />

exchange of experimental experiences and reports of results (Munich, 22.10.2009; Budapest,<br />

01.07.2010). All scientists in addition participated at the 15 th International Symposium on Iron Nutrition<br />

and Interaction in <strong>Plant</strong>s, 26-30.06.2010 in Budapest. To exchange data and results an internal<br />

webpage and database have been created.<br />

- The added value accomplished by the partners is demonstrated by the intense collaboration<br />

regarding sample exchange (genotypes, extracts, subcellular preparations) and use of advanced<br />

analytical methods. For example P2, P3 have established plant growth conditions for parallel large<br />

scale analyses, which are per<strong>form</strong>ed on the transcriptomic and proteomic/metabolomic levels by<br />

partners P1 and P4/P5, respectively. On the other hand we are able to merge and use research<br />

experience from the molecular (P1, P2), functional (P3) and applied fields (P4, P5).<br />

- Facilities for large scale microarray (P1), metabolite (P4, P5), and protein (P4) analyses are shared<br />

for experiments within the project.<br />

- Short stay (1 week) of R. Rellán (P4) in P2’s lab in Montpellier.<br />
