Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Phenotypic characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants that alleviate root growth defects in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis mutant

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Vitamin B6 is a critical molecule for plant metabolism and development. Rsr4‐1, a loss‐of‐function mutant in a vitamin B6 biosynthesis gene, has a distinct short root phenotype. Here we describe five novel suppressor mutants with an rsr4‐1 background that have normalized root growth and distinct phenotypic and molecular characteristics, representing a ...

Effects of Root Trace Nitrogen Reduction in Arid Areas on Sucrose–Starch Metabolism of Flag Leaves and Grains and Yield of Drip-Irrigated Spring Wheat

Agronomy
To investigate the effect of nitrogen (N) application on the carbon metabolism and yield of flag leaves and grains of spring wheat under drip irrigation in Xinjiang, a split-zone design was adopted from 2020 to 2021, with strong-gluten wheat, Xinchun 37 (

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Nitrogen Topdressing Rate Alters Starch and Protein Properties in Grains at Different Spike Positions Under Long-Term Field Conditions

Plants
Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient influencing wheat growth, grain yield, and quality. A long-term field experiment was conducted using cultivar Zhengmai 1860 to clarify the effects of N topdressing on grain protein composition, starch accumulation, and ...

Direct Determination of the Site of Addition of Glucosyl Units to Maltooligosaccharide Acceptors Catalyzed by Maize Starch Synthase I

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Starch synthase (SS) (ADP-glucose:1,4-α-D-glucan 4-α-D-glucosyltransferase) elongates α-(1→4)-linked linear glucans within plastids to generate the storage polymers that constitute starch granules.

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 ...
