A root-associated purple acid phosphatase, SgPAP23, mediates extracellular phytate-P utilization in Stylosanthes guianensis.

open access: yesPlant, Cell and Environment, 2018
As a major component of soil organic phosphorus (P), phytate-P is unavailable to plants unless hydrolysed by phytase to release inorganic phosphate. However, knowledge on natural variation in root-associated phytase activity and its underlying molecular ...

The Effects of Canning on the In Vitro Solubility of Phosphorus in Pet Food

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess phosphate (P) intake through inorganic P (Pi) addition is known to cause various adverse health effects while declaration of use and amount in pet food in the EU is not regulated. Distinction between organic phosphate (oP) from feed ingredients and Pi with standard laboratory methods is impossible.

Identification of Purple Acid Phosphatases in Chickpea and Potential Roles of CaPAP7 in Seed Phytate Accumulation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) play important roles in phosphate (Pi) acquisition and utilization. These PAPs hydrolyze organic Phosphorus (P) containing compounds in rhizosphere as well as inside the plant cell.

Dietary Diversity, Haemoglobin and Anaemia in Nepali Adolescent Girls: A Longitudinal Study

open access: yesMaternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adolescent girls and young women in Nepal are vulnerable to poor diets and anaemia, yet the extent of these risks remains overlooked. We assessed changes in dietary diversity, haemoglobin, and anaemia, and identified associated factors among adolescent girls and young women in Nepal.

Kinetics of phytate adsorption and response of phosphorus forms initially present in alkaline soils

open access: yesGeoderma
Aims: Although phytate is the most abundant organic P compound in soil, its sorption makes it poorly bioavailable through enzymatic hydrolysis. The sustainable use of the P resource in agriculture will require improving the supply of P to plants from ...

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF CRUDE INTRACELLULER PHYTASE FROM RECOMBINANT BACTERIA pEAS1AMP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This research was aimed at producing a crude intracellular phytase characterized from recombinant bacteria. The recombinant bacteria (pEAS1AMP) was produced by way of transforming pET-22b(+) +pEAS1 into competent E. coli BL21 and E.

Separating Myths From Facts About Bread and Health

open access: yesNutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT White bread remains a staple food in many countries and global consumption continues to increase. However, there is an increasingly contentious debate, carried out particularly in social media and the popular press, about the adverse effects on health of factory‐produced sliced white bread as opposed to the whole grain breads made with ...

Content of phytic acid in selected sorts of legumes

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2010
The aim of this study was to determine the content of phytic acid (phytate) in soybeans (Glycine max), yellow shelled peas (Pisum sativum) and lentil (Lens esculenta). Dry seeds were grounded to a fine powder.
