TL;DR: The use of x-ray absorption spectroscopy to analyze the Fe environment in pea-seed ferritin shows that the natural Ferritin mineral in plants has an Fe-P interaction at 3.26A, similar to that of bacterial ferrit in animals, and a corollary is the existence of a plastid Fe uptake system to allow the concentration of Fe in the ferritIn mineral.
