Genetic dissection reveals distinct roles for the transcription factor ZHOUPI in controlling arabidopsis endosperm cell death and embryonic cuticle development [PDF]

, 2012
Angiosperm seed development requires co-ordinated development of the embryo and a second zygotic tissue, the endosperm. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the endosperm is ephemeral and is largely consumed by the embryo during seed development. In addition to a

Genetic biofortification of wheat with zinc: Opportunities to fine‐tune zinc uptake, transport and grain loading

, 2021
Zinc (Zn) is an important micronutrient in the human body, and health complications associated with insufficient dietary intake of Zn can be overcome by increasing the bioavailable concentrations in edible parts of crops (biofortification).

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Physicochemical and mineral analysis of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) water during stages of maturation

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Young coconut water consumption is linked to its hydrating and nutritional properties which vary across varieties and stage of nut maturity. This study investigated physicochemical change during nut maturity at 3, 6 and 9 months for five coconut ...

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Short term transport of iron and copper to various parts of wheat grains

, 2001
Increasing the micronutrient content of staple foods such as cereal grains is a way of addressing micronutrient deficiencies in humans. This strategy will only be successful if the micronutrients are distributed in parts of the grain that are generally ...

Mapping and Functional Characterization of Homologous Genes AhSUCA06 and AhSUCA16 Underlying Sucrose, Oil and Protein Contents in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...
