Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Metabolomics approaches enable the parallel assessment of the levels of a broad range of
metabolites and have been documented to have great value in both phenotyping and …

The environmental and financial costs of using inorganic phosphate fertilizers to maintain
crop yield and quality are high. Breeding crops that acquire and use phosphorus (P) more …

Background Low phytoavailability of phosphorus (P) limits crop production worldwide.
Increasing seed P content can improve plant establishment and increase yields. This is …

A spring barley collection of 192 genotypes from a wide geographical range was used to
identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for salt tolerance traits by means of an association …

Phytate or phytic acid (PA), is a phosphorus (P) containing compound generated by the
stepwise phosphorylation of myo-inositol. It forms complexes with some nutrient cations …

The study of domestication contributes to our knowledge of evolution and crop genetic
resources. Human selection has shaped wild Brassica rapa into diverse turnip, leafy, and …

Soil salinity is a serious threat to agriculture sustainability worldwide. Salt tolerance at the
seedling stage is crucial for plant establishment and high yield in saline soils; however, little …

One of the many goals of plant geneticists and breeders pertains to the explanation of
phenotypic variation as it relates to changes in DNA sequence (Myles et al., 2009). The …
