Enriched-Fe Maize Kernels to Prevent Dietary Fe Deficiency in Humans
Trends in Plant Science(2024)
Abstract
Iron (Fe) biofortification of edible organs without influencing crop yield is challenging, and potential solutions are largely unknown. Recently, Yan et al. identified a key regulator NAC78 (NAM/ATAF/CUC DOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 78) that enriches Fe in maize kernels without compromising crop yield. This may provide new crop yield management strategies for Fe acquisition and nutritional security.
