Illustrated the genetic mechanism of Fe/Zn regulating the availability, uptake, and translocation across the different tissues from root to shoot and from shoot to grains in wheat. The roots release the MA and PS which act as a chelating agent to reduce Fe3 + to Fe2 + to make it readily available for root uptake. Different metal transporters (ZIP, IRT-like proteins) assist the Zn2 + absorption in roots while NAS, YSL, and ZIF translocate the Zn/Fe from root to shoot. Some vegetative tissues specific transporters like VTL and MAPK deposited the Zn/Fe in the wheat grains
