CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the wheat iron sensor TaHRZ1 confirms its conserved role in iron homeostasis and allocation in grains

Deepshikha Tyagi, Hamida Banoo, Deepak Kumar Jha, Varsha Meena, Riya Joon, Kanupriya Agrwal, Pooja Ramji Yadav, Anil Kumar, Santosh B. Satbhai, Terri A. Long, Ajay Kumar Pandey

This study uses CRISPR-Cas9 to edit wheat TaHRZ1 homoeologs, showing enhanced iron loading in grains and supporting their role in iron homeostasis.

Integrative spatial transcriptomic analysis pinpoints the role of the ferroxidase, TaMCO3, in wheat root tip iron mobilization

Riya Joon, Gourav Singh, Deepshikha Tyagi, Varsha Meena, Vishnu Shukla, Kanupriya Agrwal, Shivani Saini, Mankiran, Hamida Banoo, Santosh B. Satbhai, Jagtar Singh, Terri A. Long, Eswarayya Ramireddy, Ajay Kumar Pandey

The paper identifies TaMCO3 as a ferroxidase in wheat root tips that enhances iron uptake under deficiency by improving gene expression and rescuing mutant phenotypes.
