Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phytic acid in grains chelates essential minerals, thereby reducing the bioavailability of phosphorus and micronutrients in maize-based food and feed. Understanding the temporal expression pattern of the phytase1 gene, which regulates phytase activity, holds immense potential for maize biofortification efforts. METHODS AND RESULTS: The expression of the phytase1 gene and its impact on phytase activity...
