摘要: 香豆素类化合物是一类以苯并吡喃酮为母环结构的酚类化合物, 可分为简单香豆素和复杂香豆素, 广泛存在于自然界的高等植物中。研究表明, 缺铁条件下, 植物根部分泌的简单香豆素类化合物能够促进铁离子的吸收。该文对近年来发现和鉴定的植物缺铁诱导型香豆素合成及调控相关基因研究进展进行综述, 进一步详细阐述缺铁诱导型香豆素的生物合成、储存、分泌及其调控机制, 探讨其促进植物铁吸收的分子机制。同时, 展望该领域未来的研究方向。

Abstract: Coumarins are a class of phenolic compounds with benzopyrones as the parent ring structure, categorized into simple and complex coumarins, and widely distributed in higher plants. In recent years, studies have shown that root-secreted coumarins can promote iron absorption in plants. Here, the recent progress in the discovery and identification of genes related to the biosynthesis and regulation of plant iron deficiency-induced coumarins is reviewed, and the molecular mechanisms of the biosynthesis, storage, secretion, and regulation of iron deficiency-induced coumarins are further elaborated. The mechanism by which coumarins could promote plant iron uptake has also been discussed. Finally, this paper provides a preliminary outlook on the future research directions to gain knowledge of these mechanisms, which could offer novel opportunities to generate iron deficiency-tolerant crops and iron-biofortified crops.

Key words: iron deficiency, coumarin, biosynthesis, regulation, iron uptake
