Abstract Phytic acid (PA),[myo-inositol 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate] is the principal
storage compound of phosphorus (P) and account for 65%–85% of the seeds total P. The …

Fe is essential for plant growth. At the same time, Fe is highly reactive and toxic via the
Fenton reaction. Consequently, plants tightly control Fe homeostasis and react to Fe …

Active oxygen species (AOS) are involved in various aspects of seed physiology. Their
generation, which occurs during seed desiccation, germination and ageing, may lead to …

Iron deficiency is a major human nutritional problem wherever plant-based diets are
common. Using synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microtomography to directly visualize iron in …

Iron (Fe) is necessary for all living cells, but its bioavailability is often limited. Fe deficiency
limits agriculture in many areas and affects over a billion human beings worldwide. In …

About 75% of seed total phosphorus (P) is found in a single compound, phytic acid (myo-
inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate or InsP6). Phytic acid is not efficiently utilized by …

Following the unequivocal demonstration that plants contain at least two types of vacuoles,
scientists studying this organelle have realized that the plant 'vacuome'is far more complex …

Essential metals are required for healthy plant growth but can be toxic when present in
excess. Therefore plants have mechanisms of metal homeostasis which involve …

myo-Inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate (Ins P6) was first described as an abundant
form of phosphorus in plant seeds and other plant tissues and dubbed “phytic acid” …

Commercialization of Brassica napus. L (oilseed rape) meal as protein diet is gaining more
attention due to its well‐balanced amino acid and protein contents. Phytic acid (PA) is a …
