Identifying candidate sites for crop biofortification in Latin America: case studies in Colombia, Nicaragua and Bolivia

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2009
Background Agricultural science can address a population's vitamin, amino acid and mineral malnutrition through biofortification - agronomy, plant breeding and biotechnology to develop crops with high nutrient contents. Biofortified crop varieties should

Automated Phenotyping Unveils Trait‐Specific Genotypic Variation in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Responsiveness in Maize (Zea mays)

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between land plants and fungi that enhances plant mineral nutrition, has potential for application in sustainable agriculture. The extent to which plants benefit from the symbiosis depends on the plant‐fungal genotype combination, providing opportunities for breeding symbiosis‐optimized crops.

A Three Amino Acid Sequence Gates Protein Stability Control of bHLH104 and Iron Uptake in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) homeostasis is regulated to prevent iron imbalance, with the help of redundant basic helix‐loop‐helix (bHLH) IVc transcription factors that can be controlled by Fe‐binding E3 ligases such as BRUTUS (BTS) in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Improving Rice Zinc Biofortification Success Rates Through Genetic and Crop Management Approaches in a Changing Environment [PDF]

, 2016
Though rice is the predominant source of energy and micronutrients for more than half of the world population, it does not provide enough zinc (Zn) to match human nutritional requirements.

Sulphur‐mediated iron homeostasis in four tetraploid wheats (Triticum turgidum L.)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Polish wheat's tolerance to S limitation enables a well‐orchestrated response for efficient Fe acquisition when S is scarce, involving increased Fe accumulation, enhanced phytosiderophore release, and upregulated TdIRO2 and TdYSL15 expression. Abstract Sulphur (S) deficiency is known to hinder iron (Fe) uptake and distribution in wheat, mainly by ...

Time‐series multi‐omics analysis of micronutrient stress in Sorghum bicolor reveals iron and zinc crosstalk and regulatory network conservation

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.
