Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The ZmYSL2 mutation causes abnormal iron distribution in tissues of maize o213 mutants, disrupting iron transport during the V9/12D developmental stage while simultaneously reducing iron transport efficiency. Iron (Fe) is an essential nutrient for plants. This study demonstrates that the ZmYSL2 mutation alters the distribution of iron within plants. The iron content in the roots of the o213...
