Maize Biofortification Approaches for Fighting Malnutrition in Sub‐Saharan Africa
ABSTRACT Maize is a staple food in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA); however, commonly used maize varieties are deficient in essential nutrients, including lysine, tryptophan, vitamin A, and minerals such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). As a result, millions of people in this region suffer from one or more nutrient deficiencies that commonly lead to malnutrition ...

ABSTRACT Water‐use contributes significantly to plant growth and productivity, yet the extent to which variation in water‐use is a function of adaptive differentiation is unknown. Here, we studied natural variation of water use in Arabidopsis thaliana to understand how climatic history impacts water‐use strategies.

ABSTRACT Transepithelial calcium absorption occurs via a transcellular or paracellular pathway. The intestinal transcellular pathway relies, at least partially, on the apical calcium channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6), whereas paracellular calcium (re)absorption occurs through tight junction proteins, including claudin‐2 (CLDN2 ...
