Intensive cultivation and post-harvest vegetable oil production stages are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Variation between systems reporting disparity have resulted in discordance previous emissions estimates. The aim this study was to assess global systems-wide variation GHG resulting from palm, soybean, rapeseed sunflower production. Such an analysis is critical understand the implications meeting increasing edible demand. To achieve this, we performed a unified...
ABSTRACT With the possibility of co‐optimizing all growth factors in vertical farming, such systems could contribute to future food supply, but potential productivity is unknown. Analyzing 171 publications with 1403 data points across 10 crop categories from controlled‐environment experiments revealed major variation among and within species. Potato produced most edible dry mass 33 g m −2 day −1 , 28 times more per layer than open‐field cultivation. High planting density crops generally...
Mineral nutrient uptake and utilisation by plants are controlled many traits relating to root morphology, ion transport, sequestration translocation. The aims of this study were determine the phenotypic diversity in morphology leaf seed mineral composition a polyploid crop species, Brassica napus L., how these relate habit. Traits quantified panel up 387 genotypes: 163 winter, 127 spring, seven semiwinter oilseed rape (OSR) habits, 35 swede, 15 winter fodder, 40 exotic/unspecified habits....
Abstract BACKGROUND Selenium (Se) is a nutrient for animals and humans, considered beneficial to higher plants. concentrations are low in most soils, which can result lack of Se plants, consequently human diets. Phytic acid (PA) the main storage form phosphorus seeds, it able insoluble complexes with essential minerals monogastric gut. This study aimed establish optimal levels application cowpea, aim increasing concentrations. The efficiency agronomic biofortification was evaluated by seven...
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea), a major source of vegetable oil in many Asian countries, has become an integral part human diet globally due to its high nutritional properties and option consume different forms. In order meet the demand oil, peanut breeding programs China have intensified their efforts increasing content newly bred varieties for reducing import edible oils China. this context, transcriptome sequencing data generated on 49 cultivars were analyzed identify candidate genes develop...
Oilseed rape and other crops of Brassica napus have a high demand for boron (B). Boron deficiencies result in the inhibition root growth, eventually premature flower abortion. Understanding genetic mechanisms underlying abortion B-limiting conditions could provide basis to enhance B-efficiency prevent B-deficiency-related yield losses. In this study, we assessed transcriptomic responses B-deficiency diverse inflorescence tissues at multiple time points soil-grown plants that were...
Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) are essential plant nutrients vital for human animal nutrition. Biofortification of crops has previously been suggested to alleviate widespread Ca Mg deficiencies. In this study, new candidate genes influencing the leaf accumulation were identified in young Brassica napus plants using associative transcriptomics ionomics datasets. A total 247 166 SNP markers associated with concentration, respectively, after false discovery rate correction removal SNPs low...
Magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) are essential mineral nutrients poorly supplied in many human food systems. In grazing livestock, Mg Ca deficiencies costly welfare issues. Here, we report a Brassica rapa loss-of-function schengen3 (sgn3) mutant, braA.sgn3.a-1, which accumulates twice as much third more its leaves. We mapped braA.sgn3.a to single recessive locus using forward ionomic screen of chemically mutagenized lines with subsequent backcrossing linked-read sequencing second...
Large nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertiliser inputs are used in many crop systems. Identifying genetic loci controlling nutrient accumulation may be useful breeding strategies to increase use efficiency reduce financial environmental costs. Here, variation leaf nitrate concentration across a diversity population of 383 genotypes Brassica napus was characterised. Genetic nitrate, were then identified through Associative Transcriptomics using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers...
Abstract Sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) is the largest source of vegetable oil in Europe and fourth globally. Intensive cultivation post-harvest steps contribute to global food-systems’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, variation between production systems reporting disparity have resulted discordance previous emissions estimates. To assess systems-wide GHG implications meeting increasing edible demand using sunflower, we performed a unified re-analysis primary life cycle inventory...
Boron (B) is an essential plant micronutrient with a crucial role in cell wall stability. To improve tolerance to suboptimal B-availability, it understand the mechanisms plants have evolved tolerate B-limited conditions. We assessed temporal physiological, ionomic and molecular responses B-deficiency across diversity panel of 185 Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. Plants were characterised soil-substrate automated phenotyping system track shoot performance, on agar plates root traits....
