Cost‐Efficiency and Cost‐Effectiveness of Alternative Bouillon Fortification Programs: Evidence for Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Senegal

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Achieving dietary adequacy in vitamin A, zinc, and/or folate can save child‐lives. Different amounts and combinations of micronutrients have different costs and different effects on child mortality. This study presents ten bouillon fortification options for Nigeria.

ZmMYB127 Modulates Maize Kernel Texture and Size by Integrating the Synthesis of Starch, Zein Proteins and Auxin

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kernel texture is an important agronomic trait that determines the end‐uses of maize kernels and affects their integrity at harvest and susceptibility to pests and diseases. The ratio of the vitreous endosperm (RVE) is the key index for assessing kernel texture, and identifying key genes involved in its formation is crucial for maize breeding.

GmMYB4 Positively Regulates Isoflavone Biosynthesis via the GmMAPK6‐GmMYB4‐MBW Module in Soybean

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, a class of bioactive compounds predominantly found in leguminous plants, are largely responsible for their beneficial effects on human health. Although MYB transcription factors (TFs) are known to be crucial regulators of isoflavone biosynthesis in soybean, the precise mechanisms underlying their regulatory functions remain poorly

Moderate Regulation of SBEIIb Gene Expression by Editing Cis‐Regulatory Elements Enhances the Resistant Starch Content in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the staple food of over half the world's population, rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content may be beneficial in the dietary prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Mutating key enzymes in starch metabolism to increase the RS content has been successful in other crops.

Genetic Determinants and Breeding Strategies for Rice Cooking and Eating Quality: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.
