Phytase for food application (2006, background): “Recently, low phytate mutants in maize, barley, rice and soybeans have been isolated (40) and their potential for improving the absorption of iron, zinc and calcium has been shown (41).”
Approaches and challenges to engineering seed phytate and total phosphorus (2009, unknown): “contributing to nutritional deficiency in human populations [10,11].”
Developments in biochemical aspects and biotechnological applications of microbial phytases (2011, background): “Further research efforts are needed to understand the molecular biology and genetics of phytic acid accumulation during seed development and feasibility and effectiveness of employing this approach at the community level (Mendoza, 2002).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “…et al., 2005), but replacing conventional varieties with lpa mutants in diets improves the mineral nutrition of monogastric animals, including humans (Adams et al., 2002; Mendoza et al., 1998, 2001; Hambidge et al., 2004, 2005; Mazariegos et al., 2006; see reviews by Mendoza, 2002; Raboy, 2007).”
