Abstract excerpt
Phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), the major form of phosphorous storage in plant seeds, is an inositol phosphate compound poorly digested by humans and monogastric animals. A major goal for grain crop improvement is the reduction of its content in the seed to improve micronutrient bioavailability and phosphorus utilisation by humans and non-ruminant animals, respectively. We are interested in lowering phyti...
