Abstract excerpt
Phytic acid (PA, InsP6) is the primary phosphorus storage form in seeds, but its poor digestibility in monogastric animals and strong chelation of essential minerals reduce nutritional value, while undigested PA contributes to environmental eutrophication. Developing low phytic acid (LPA) crops is critical for sustainable agriculture, yet LPA genotypes typically exhibit pleiotropic growth defects that limit...
