Seedlings were grown in +Fe medium for 6 wk and then transferred to nutrient media, or deprived of Fe for 7 d. Expression levels were normalized to UBQ10 and then to the value of each gene from the WT under Fe sufficient conditions. Data are means ± SD (n = 3). *, Significant change vs +Fe; +, significant change vs WT +Fe. 2 Fig. S3 FCR activity and Fe content in GRF11 over-expression transgenic lines. (a) Arabidopsis plants (wild type (WT), FIT-OX, GRF11-OX2, and GRF11-OX5) were grown in +Fe medium for 6 wk and then transferred to nutrient solution (+Fe), or deprived of Fe (-Fe) for 7 d. Data are means ± SD (n = 7). *, Significant change vs +Fe. (b) and (c) Arabidopsis plants (wild type (WT), FIT-OX, GRF11-OX2, and GRF11-OX5) were grown in +Fe medium for 6 wk, then roots and shoots were separately harvested for Fe content determination. Data are means ± SD (n = 4). 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 (a) (b) Fig. S4 Identification of interaction between FIT and GRF11 in yeast. Yeast colonies were grown on synthetic dropout (SD)–Leu/–Trp (b) or SD–Ade/–His/–Leu/–Trp plates (a) for 3 d. The numbers of 1 to 6 indicate plasmid combinations as follows: 1, pAD-T with pBD-53; 2, pAD-T with pBD-Lam; 3, pAD-FIT with pBD-GRF11; 4, pAD-FIT with pBD; 5, pAD with pBD-GRF11; 6, pAD with pBD. 4 Table S1 Primer pairs used for qRT-PCR Gene Locus Primers IRT1 AtU27590 fw:5'-GCGACTTGTAGTGCGGCTATG-3' rev:5'-CGTTGCACGAGCGATTCTG-3' FRO2 At1g01580 fw:5'-GGAGAAGGTGTTGCTCCATCTC-3' rev:5'-GGTTAGGCAAGTTTAAGCTCTG-3' AHA1 At2g18960 fw:5’-GCAAGCCAAGAGAAGGGCCGAG-3’ rev:5’-GAGTCATGATGGGGTTGGTTTTCGG-3’ AHA2 At4g30190 fw:5'-TTTGCCGGAGTCTTCCCAGGT-3' rev:5'-GGGGCATCATTGACACCATCACCAG-3' AHA7 At3g60330 Fw:5’-AGGGCTAACGGGTGATGCTTTGG-3’ Rev:5’-TGCTCTCCGTGGTGATAGCCTTG-3’ FIT At2g28160 fw:5'-GTATCAATCCTCCTGCTT-3' rev:5'-TCTCGGTTACATCATCACT-3' bHLH038 At3g56970 fw:5'-AGCAGCAACCAAAGGCG-3' rev:5'-CCACTTGAAGATGCAAAGTGTAG-3' bHLH039 At3g56980 fw:5'-GACGGTTTCTCGAAGCTTG-3' rev:5'-GGTGGCTGCTTAACGTAACAT-3' bHLH100 At2g41240 fw:5'-AACTCAGAGGAAGGGGTTACA-3' rev:5'-GATGCATAGAGTAAAAGAGTCGCT-3' bHLH101 At5g04150 fw:5'-CAGCTGAGAAACAAAGCAATG-3' rev:5'-CAGTCTCACTTTGCAATCTCC-3' 5 EIN3 At3g20770 fw:5'-TCCTCAGCCAAGGCCAGTGA-3' rev:5'-TGTGGGTTGAAGCAGTGACACG-3' EIL1 At2g27050 fw:5'-TGGAGTTCCGGAAAACGGGCA-3' rev:5'-GCTGCTGATTCTGAGCTGCTTTTGC-3' GRF11 At1g34760 fw:5'-CTATCACTCAAGGCGTATG-3' rev:5'-GTATGGCTCCGTAACTAAG-3' UBQ10 At4g05320 fw:5'- GTCTTCGTGGTGGTTTCTAAATCT -3' rev:5'- TTATTCATCAGGGATTATACAAGG -3' 6
