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

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.

The paper develops a hybrid model integrating ODEs and agent-based modeling to study the coordination of stem cell divisions and regulatory interactions in plant root stem cell niches.
