Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical
role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis …

To address the problem of iron-deficiency anemia, one of the most prevalent human
micronutrient deficiencies globally, iron-biofortified rice was produced using three transgenic …

More than 2 billion people suffer from iron (Fe) deficiency, and developing crop cultivars with
an increased concentration of micronutrients (biofortification) can address this problem. In …

Rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) utilize the iron chelators known as mugineic acid family
phytosiderophores (MAs) to acquire iron from the rhizosphere. Synthesis of MAs and uptake …

Rice and most staple cereals contain low iron (Fe) levels, most of which is lost during grain
processing. Populations with monotonous diets consisting mainly of cereals are especially …

Micronutrient malnutrition is widespread, especially in poor populations across the globe,
and iron deficiency anemia is one of the most prevalent forms of micronutrient deficiencies …

Iron (Fe) is an essential element for most living organisms. To acquire sparingly soluble Fe
from the rhizosphere, rice roots rely on two Fe acquisition pathways. The first of these …

Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the
available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for …

Iron deficiency is a serious problem around the world, especially in developing countries.
The production of iron-biofortified rice will help ameliorate this problem. Previously …

Under low iron (Fe) availability, plants transcriptionally induce various genes responsible for
Fe uptake and translocation to obtain adequate amounts of Fe. Although transcription factors …
