Despite its importance to plant function and human health, the genetics underpinning
element levels in maize grain remain largely unknown. Through a genome-wide association …

Plants obtain soil-resident elements that support growth and metabolism from the water-flow
facilitated by transpiration and active transport processes. The availability of elements in the …

Despite being one of the most consumed vegetables in the United States, the elemental
profile of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) is limited in its dietary contributions. To address this …

Increasing wheat grain yield while ignoring grain quality and metal accumulation can result
in metal deficiencies, particularly in countries where bread wheat accounts for the majority of …

Clarifying the genetic basis of trace element accumulation is of great significance to breed
new maize varieties with high quality. In this study, an integrated variant map with 1.25 …

Microelements are necessary for plant growth and development, they control key processes
of physiological metabolism. Herein, we evaluated three accumulation‐related …

Metals, along with nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites, are involved in almost every
process in an organism. The functional genomics of all ions including all metals, called …

A multilocus genome-wide association study of a panel of 369 diverse wheat (Triticum
aestivum) genotypes was carried out in order to examine the genetic basis of variations in …

Metal transport process in plants is a determinant of quality and quantity of the harvest.
Although it is among the most important of staple crops, knowledge about genes that encode …

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in maize grains is detrimental to human health. Developing
maize varieties with low Cd content is important for safe consumption of maize grains …
