the enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of iron(III)-chelating coumarins in higher plants. Under iron-deficiency conditions, a branch of the phenylpropanoid pathway consisting of feruloyl-CoA 6'-hydroxylase 1, scopoletin 8-hydroxylase, and CYP82C4 is strongly induced, thus leading to the synthesis of scopoletin and its conversion into redox-active fraxetin and sideretin. In the rhizosphere, the redox-active coumarins act in concert with other components of the strategy I iron acquisition machinery by solubilizing and reducing iron from sparingly available sources |
