Natural variation in a molybdate transporter controls grain molybdenum concentration in rice (2018)
Journal Article
Huang, X., Liu, H., Zhu, Y., Pinson, S. R. M., Lin, H., Guerinot, M. L., …Salt, D. E. (2019). Natural variation in a molybdate transporter controls grain molybdenum concentration in rice. New Phytologist, 221(4), 1983-1997. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15546

© 2018 The Authors. New Phytologist © 2018 New Phytologist Trust Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential micronutrient for most living organisms, including humans. Cereals such as rice (Oryza sativa) are the major dietary source of Mo. However, little is kno...

Genome-Wide Association Studies Reveal the Genetic Basis of Ionomic Variation in Rice (2018)
Journal Article
Yang, M., Lu, K., Zhao, F., Xie, W. X., Ramakrishna, P., Wang, G., …Lian, X. (2018). Genome-Wide Association Studies Reveal the Genetic Basis of Ionomic Variation in Rice. Plant Cell, 30(11), 2720–2740. https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.18.00375

Rice (Oryza sativa) is an important dietary source of both essential micronutrients and toxic trace elements for humans. The genetic basis underlying the variations in the mineral composition, the ionome, in rice remains largely unknown. Here, we des...

Hidden variation in polyploid wheat drives local adaptation (2018)
Journal Article
Gardiner, L., Joynson, R., Omony, J., Rusholme-Pilcher, R., Olohan, L., Lang, D., …Hall, A. (2018). Hidden variation in polyploid wheat drives local adaptation. Genome Research, 28(9), 1319-1332. https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.233551.117

Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has the ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey genotype, repeat content, and DNA methylation across a bread wheat landrace colle...

Elemental profiling of rice FOX lines leads to characterization of a new Zn plasma membrane transporter, OsZIP7 (2018)
Journal Article
Ricachenevsky, F. K., Punshon, T., Lee, S., Oliveira, B. H. N., Trenz, T. S., Maraschin, F. D. S., …Guerinot, M. L. (in press). Elemental profiling of rice FOX lines leads to characterization of a new Zn plasma membrane transporter, OsZIP7. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.00865

Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are essential micronutrients required for proper development in both humans and plants. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are the staple food for nearly half of the world’s population, but a poor source of metals such as Fe and Zn...

AtHMA4 drives natural variation in leaf Zn concentration of Arabidopsis thaliana (2018)
Journal Article
Chen, Z., Kuang, L., Gao, Y., Wang, Y., Salt, D. E., & Chao, D. (2018). AtHMA4 drives natural variation in leaf Zn concentration of Arabidopsis thaliana. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, Article 270. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.00270

Zinc (Zn) is an essential element for plant growth and development, and Zn derived from crop plants in the diet is also important for human health. Here, we report that genetic variation in Heavy Metal-ATPase 4 (HMA4) controls natural variation in le...
