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.
