- Lipid transfer proteins are small, basic proteins that have been purified from both monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
- Besides this constitutive system, iron reductases have been described in dicotyledons and non-grass monocotyledons that reduce iron prior to uptake.
- Results presented in this study are in good agreement with those reported for other monocotyledons such as maize and rice.
