Abstract excerpt
Insufficient iron (Fe) availability, which frequently occurs in soils with high pH levels, can lead to leaf chlorosis, a reduced Fe content in harvest products, and yield reduction in maize. The objectives of this study were (i) to describe patterns of sequence variation of 14 candidate genes for mobilization, uptake, and transport of Fe in maize, as well as regulatory function on these processes; (ii) to examine...
