Regulation of Fe-deficiency signalling networks is one of the many functions reported for basic helix-loop-helix ( bHLH ) transcription factors in plants .
In the present study , OsbHLH133 was found to be induced by Fe-deficiency conditions in Oryza sativa .
Insertional inactivation of OsbHLH133 ( bhlh133 ) resulted in growth retardation , with enhanced Fe concentration seen in shoots , and reduced Fe concentration in roots .
Overexpression of OsbHLH133 had the opposite effect , that is resulted in an enhanced Fe concentration in roots and reduced Fe concentration in shoots and also in xylem sap .
Microarray analysis showed that some of the genes encoding Fe-related functions were up-regulated under Fe-sufficient conditions , in bhlh133 mutant plants compared to wild-type plants .
Significant differential expression of a number of signalling pathways , including calcium signalling , was also seen in bhlh133 plants compared to wild-type plants , independent of Fe conditions .
