Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) storage in cereal seeds is the principal source of dietary Fe for humans. In maize (Zea mays), the accumulation of Fe in seeds is known to be negatively correlated with crop yield. Hence, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanism, which is crucial for developing and breeding maize cultivars with high yields and high Fe concentrations in the kernels. Here, through the successful application...
