Blockchain For Food: Making Sense of Technology and the Impact on Biofortified Seeds [PDF]

, 2020
The global food system is under pressure and is in the early stages of a major transition towards more transparency, circularity, and personalisation. In the coming decades, there is an increasing need for more food production with fewer resources. Thus,

Cross‐Species Reprogramming of Developmental Plasticity and Metabolic Rewiring via Banana‐Derived WUS2 Developmental Regulator

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant regeneration is governed by intrinsic gene regulation and phytohormonal cues. WUSCHEL (WUS) gene promotes regeneration, but its broader functional role remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that the constitutive and inducible expression of banana‐derived WUS2 (GN‐WUS2) enhances regeneration in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and Musa ...

Tolerance to Phosphorus Deficiency Improves Seed Phytic Acid‐to‐Iron Molar Ratios in Common Bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although significant advances have been achieved in the biofortification of common beans to overcome deficiencies in Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), the mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. We thus explored the relationships between phosphorus nutrition and Zn and Fe accumulation in four bean genotypes (Edar, Nizok, Colorado and Chimbolos ...

Root Structural and Metabolic Plasticity Confers Tolerance to Salinity in Wild Barley Species Grown Under Waterlogging

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity combined with waterlogging is a major abiotic stress that severely limits crop growth and yield. We investigated species‐specific adaptations to salinity under constant waterlogging conditions in the wild halophytic barleys Hordeum marinum and H. glaucum, compared with the cultivated H. vulgare.

Zinc biofortification potential of diverse mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] genotypes under field conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Zinc (Zn) is an important micronutrient for crop plants and essential for human health. The Zn-deficiency is an important malnutrition problem known globally. Biofortified foods could overcome Zn deficiency in humans. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]

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 ...

Possible Roles of Rhizospheric and Endophytic Microbes to Provide a Safe and Affordable Means of Crop Biofortification

Agronomy, 2019
Biofortification has been used to improve micronutrient contents in crops for human consumption. In under-developed regions, it is important to fortify crops so that people can obtain essential micronutrients despite the limited variety in their diets ...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Pathway-Level Analysis of Kernel Color in Maize. [PDF]

, 2019
Rapid development and adoption of biofortified, provitamin A-dense orange maize (Zea mays L.) varieties could be facilitated by a greater understanding of the natural variation underlying kernel color, including as it relates to carotenoid biosynthesis ...

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.
