Biofortification of Sweetcorn with Iodine: Interaction of Organic and Inorganic Forms of Iodine Combined with Vanadium

Around the world, maize cultivation is an essential part of food systems for humans and animals. Effective reactions against occurrence diseases related to deficiency elements in human diet are biofortification plant species broad importance, including maize. The enrichment with iodine difficult due poor transport this element plant’s generative organs. In marine algae, vanadium structure enzyme iodine-dependent peroxidase (vHIPO) that catalyzes uptake cellular (I) its volatilization as I2. relationship between higher plants, however, not well-known. aim research was determine effect fertilization interactions organic inorganic compounds under soil application. pot experiment, NH4VO3 applied two doses 0.1 1 ?mol·dm?3 both separately combination, following compounds: 5-iodosalicylic acid (5-ISA), 2-iodobenzoic (2-IBeA), potassium iodide (KI), iodate (KIO3). were also independently vanadium, while control performed without I V. Iodine calculated using molar mass (i.e., 10 I). highest level accumulation grains (regardless V) obtained after application 5ISA 2IBeA. A lower dose (0.1 ?mol·dm?3) combination KI KIO3 increased leaves, roots, compared additional vanadium. combined 2-IBeA most effectively stimulated grain. Under 5-ISA (10 ?mol·dm?3), we observed stimulating compound on roots well antagonistic Vanadium accumulated mainly where content proportionally dose. total sugar vitamin C
