Allocation of Heme is Differentially Regulated by Ferrochelatase Isoforms in Arabidopsis Cells

Heme is involved in various biological processes as a cofactor of hemoproteins located in various organelles. In plant cells, heme is synthesized by two isoforms of plastid-localized ferrochelatase, FC1 and FC2. In this study, by characterizing Arabidopsis T-DNA insertional mutants, we showed that t...
