Article Synopsis
- - Iron is crucial for plant growth but is often unavailable in alkaline soils, which negatively affects crop yields.
- - Researchers initially used a synthetic form of 2'-deoxymugineic acid to address iron deficiency in rice, but its high cost and instability limited agricultural applications.
- - A new, more stable, and cheaper version called proline-2'-deoxymugineic acid was developed, successfully promoting rice growth in alkaline soils by enhancing iron availability.
