The Low Phytic Acid Phenotype in Soybean Line CX1834 Is Due to Mutations in Two Homologs of the Maize <i>Low Phytic Acid</i> Gene
2009-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Plant seeds accumulate phosphorus in the form of myo ‐inositol‐1,2,3,4,5,6‐hexa‐ kis phosphate, commonly referred to as phytic acid. Phytic acid is found complexed with cationic mineral species in the form of phytate, which is not well digested or absorbed by monogastric species such as humans, poultry, and swine. As a result, soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] has an effective deficiency of phosphorus and other mi...
