Backgorund: Cowpea is a crop widely used in developing countries due its rusticity. Besides its rich genotypic variability, most breeding programs do not explore its potential to improve elements uptake. Selenium (Se) is a scarce element in most soil...

Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa (2021)
Journal Article
Alcock, T. D., Thomas, C. L., Ó Lochlainn, S., Pongrac, P., Wilson, M., Moore, C., …Broadley, M. R. (2021). Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa. Plant Physiology, 186(3), 1616-1631. https://doi.org/10.1093/PLPHYS/KIAB150

Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) are essential mineral nutrients poorly supplied in many human food systems. In grazing livestock, Mg and Ca deficiencies are costly welfare issues. Here, we report a Brassica rapa loss-of-function schengen3 (sgn3) muta... Read More about Magnesium and calcium overaccumulate in the leaves of a schengen3 mutant of Brassica rapa.

© 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency is widespread globally, and is particularly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is consumed widely in LMICs due to its high protein conten...
