In light of climate change and human population growth one the most challenging tasks is to generate plants that are Fe-efficient, resilient low Fe supply Fe-biofortified. For such endeavors, it crucial understand regulation acquisition allocation in plants. One open question how identified Fe-regulatory proteins comprising positive negative regulators act together steer homeostasis. bHLH transcription factors (TFs) belonging subgroups IVb IVc can initiate a cascade controlling -Fe response...
The genus Vigna comprises very ancient pulse crops originating from Africa and Asia. complex history domestication of this are just being unraveled by help genome sequence information. Here, we review the utilization promising improvement strategies for mung bean (Vigna radiata), which is among major in group. It an important legume species that widely cultivated consumed many parts world, particularly This crop known its high nutritional value, drought tolerance, short growth cycle, makes...

Iron (Fe) is a crucial micronutrient needed in many metabolic processes. To balance needs and potential toxicity, plants control the amount of Fe they take up allocate to leaves seeds during their development. One important regulator this process POPEYE (PYE). PYE deficiency-induced key bHLH transcription factor (TF) for allocation internal plants. In absence PYE, there altered translocation develop leaf chlorosis.

Pulses are neglected crops in Germany. To meet sustainable development goals and decrease global carbon emissions, there is a need for agricultural system. During the current changing climate environment, particular emphasis on developing pulses regional production of proteinaceous micronutrient-rich food. It conceivable that established popular pulse from Global South options also Middle Europe, such as Asian Vigna radiata (green gram, mung bean), which unknown not agronomically exploited...
Abstract Plants use the micronutrient iron (Fe) efficiently to balance requirements for Fe during growth with its potential cytotoxic effects. A cascade of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors is initiated by bHLH proteins subgroups IVb and IVc. This induces more than 50 genes in higher plants that can be grouped co-expression clusters. Gene networks contain information on functional protein interactomes. We conducted a targeted yeast two-hybrid screen pairwise combinations 23...
