Abstract excerpt
Phytic acid (InsP6) is the main storage form of phosphate in seeds. In the plant it plays an important role in response to environmental stress and hormonal changes. InsP6 is a strong chelator of cations, reducing the bioavailability of essential minerals in the diet. Only a common bean low phytic acid (lpa1) mutant, affected in the PvMRP1 gene, coding for a putative tonoplastic phytic acid transporter, was...
