A comparison of each reductase's expression in root and nodule tissue from two soybean transcriptome studies is presented (Libault etal., 2010; Severin etal., 2010). A prediction of the number of transmembrane domains (TMD) was analyzed by SOSUI (http://bp.nuap.nagoya-u.ac.jp/sosui/sosui_submit.html). Homology to AtFRO2, a characterized, ferric chelate reductase present in the outer root layers of A. thaliana, was calculated by a clustalW alignment.
