Identification and characterization of yellow stripe-like genes in maize suggest their roles in the uptake and transport of zinc and iron
Abstract Background Yellow Stripe-Like (YSL) proteins are involved in the uptake and transport of metal ions. They play important roles in maintaining the zinc and iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis, rice (Oryza sativa), and barley (Hordeum vulgare). However, proteins in this family have not been fully...
