Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. The maintenance of Fe homeostasis relies on sophisticated regulatory networks where bHLH transcription factors play a key role. However, how these factors coordinate to regulate this vital process is not fully understood.
