Double knockout of rice <i>OsVIT1</i> and <i>OsVIT2</i> genes reveals a trade-off between iron biofortification and iron excess tolerance
2025-06-06
Abstract excerpt
Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for half of the world’s population, but lacks essential nutrients such as iron (Fe). Fe deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems in humans, and biofortification of rice grains is a cost-effective approach to deliver more Fe to people’s diet. Two Vacuolar Iron Transporters, OsVIT1 and OsVIT2, were shown to negatively regulate Fe translocation to rice develo...
