Folate Synthesis and Metabolism in Plants and Prospects For Biofortification
ing to proteins (Scott et al., 2000). Folates are present in plants in trace quantities. Typically, plant folate contents Folates are essential cofactors for one-carbon transfer reactions in range from 2 to 5 (leaves), 0.2 to 2 (roots), and 0.05 to most living organisms and are required for the biosynthesis of nucleic acids, amino acids, and pantothenate. Unlike plants and microorgan0.5 (fruits...
متن کاملThe road to micronutrient biofortification of rice: progress and prospects
Biofortification (increasing the contents of vitamins and minerals through plant breeding or biotechnology) of food crops with micronutrient elements has the potential to combat widespread micronutrient deficiencies in humans. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) feeds more than half of the world's population and is used as a staple food in many parts of Asia. As in other plants, micronutrient transport in r...
متن کاملRetention, retention, retention: targeting the young in CPR skills training!
The usefulness of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in school systems has been questioned, considering that young students may not have the physical or cognitive skills required to perform complex tasks correctly. In the study conducted by Fleishhackl and coworkers, students as young as 9 years were able to successfully and effectively learn basic CPR skills, including automate...
متن کاملRice and Bean Targets for Biofortification Combined with High Carotenoid Content Crops Regulate Transcriptional Mechanisms Increasing Iron Bioavailability
Iron deficiency affects thousands of people worldwide. Biofortification of staple food crops aims to support the reduction of this deficiency. This study evaluates the effect of combinations of common beans and rice, targets for biofortification, with high carotenoid content crops on the iron bioavailability, protein gene expression, and antioxidant effect. Iron bioavailability was measured by ...
