🌾🧬 Biofortification needs a new strategy. Two approaches: mine crop diversity for better nutrition and use genome editing to boost micronutrients.
A unified framework for cross crop biofortification. #plantscience @jipb.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
🌱🧬 IAA inactivation involves oxidation, amide conjugation, and glycosylation. New findings show glycosylation is more important than previously thought. GH3 activity persists even in gh3oct mutants.
Auxin metabolism is more complex than we knew #plantscience
