Fig. 10From: Identification and characterization of yellow stripe-like genes in maize suggest their roles in the uptake and transport of zinc and ironA schematic representation of the expression patterns of ZmYSLs and their specific physiological functions. ZmYS1 is involved in the uptake of Fe in maize. ZmYSL3 is involved in Fe transport in maize. ZmYSL2, 5, 7, 9, and 12 are involved in Fe and Zn transport during the development of the maize kernel. ZmYSL13 is involved in Zn transport during silk development in maize. ZmYSL6 and ZmYSL14–19 are involved in Fe and Zn transport during tassel development in maizeBack to article page
