Cardiovascular Diseases and Zinc

Serhan Ozyildirim et al.

Summary: Zinc is essential for the structure and function of numerous enzymes and transcription factors in the human body. It plays a crucial role in heart development and is associated with various congenital heart defects. Zinc is involved in cell signaling, enzymatic responses, and the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between zinc and the cardiovascular system is complex and not fully understood.

The cell biology of zinc

Stephan Clemens

Summary: Nearly 10% of plant proteins belong to the zinc proteome and require zinc as a catalyst or structural element, with the majority of protein-bound zinc in eukaryotic cells found in the cytosol. Various metabolites and peptides serve as zinc buffers to supply zinc to enzymes, transporters, or sensor proteins, with zinc acquisition mediated by specific proteins and zinc transportation controlled by different mechanisms. Recent studies in mammalian cells have revealed the regulatory roles of zinc in modulating cellular zinc pools and influencing protein interactions and signaling cascade activities.

Micronutrient homeostasis in plants for more sustainable agriculture and healthier human nutrition

Ana G. L. Assuncao et al.

Summary: This review highlights the importance of plant micronutrient homeostasis for healthy nutrition and sustainable agriculture. Providing sustainable and nutritious food for the growing population is a major challenge. Micronutrient deficiencies adversely affect crop production, nutritional value, and human health. The review calls for awareness on the relevance of micronutrients in crop production and quality, emphasizing the need for better micronutrient nutrition in human populations.

Biofortification of major crop plants with iron and zinc-achievements and future directions

James C. R. Stangoulis et al.

Summary: Biofortification is a long-term strategy to provide more iron and zinc to those in need. Plant breeding programs have made significant progress in developing varieties with higher levels of these nutrients. International cooperation and research efforts have improved our understanding of iron and zinc homeostasis and gene regulation. Evidence on the effectiveness of biofortified crops is slowly accumulating. Scaling up biofortification efforts is important for addressing iron and zinc deficiency worldwide and ensuring nutritional security.

Novel rice iron biofortification approaches using expression of ZmYS1 and OsTOM1 controlled by tissue-specific promoters

Yuta Kawakami et al.

Summary: This study reports two novel approaches for rice Fe biofortification, namely the Y approach and the T approach. The Y approach increased polished grain Fe concentrations by controlling the expression of maize YELLOW STRIPE 1, while the T approach increased polished grain Fe concentrations by controlling the expression of rice TRANSPORTER OF MUGINEIC ACID 1. No synergistic increases in polished grain Fe concentrations were observed when Y and T approaches were combined. However, the polished grain Fe concentrations further increased when the YT approach was combined with the endosperm-specific expression of FERRITIN (YTF approach), or when the YTF approach was combined with the constitutive expression of NICOTIANAMINE SYNTHASE (YTFN approach).

A tale of two metals: Biofortification of rice grains with iron and zinc

Andriele Wairich et al.

Summary: Iron and zinc are essential micronutrients for proper growth and development. Biofortification, through enhancing the accumulation of these nutrients in crops, offers a cost-effective solution to address iron and zinc deficiency in population relying heavily on staple crops. This review discusses the attempts to increase iron and zinc concentration in rice seeds using various genetic manipulations, as well as the research gaps and future directions in this field.

Iron Absorption: Factors, Limitations, and Improvement Methods

Elif Piskin et al.

Summary: Iron is essential for various functions in the human body, and its absorption is mainly controlled by the intestines. Achieving efficient iron bioavailability is crucial for preventing iron deficiency anemia. Different forms of iron in food and nutrient interactions can affect iron absorption. Extensive research has been conducted to improve iron bioavailability and combat iron deficiency.

Plant Available Zinc Is Influenced by Landscape Position in the Amhara Region, Ethiopia

Mesfin K. Desta et al.

Summary: This study characterized the plant available zinc at different landscape positions by conducting adsorption-desorption studies on soil samples collected from on-farm trials in Ethiopia. The amount of adsorption and desorption was found to be highly associated with soil pH, organic carbon concentration, and cation exchange capacity, with Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models fitting well to the data. Multiple regression models were developed to inform zinc fertilizer management strategies for improving plant zinc use efficiency in different locations and landscape positions in the region.

Grain Fe and Zn content, heterosis, combining ability and its association with grain yield in irrigated and aerobic rice

G. Anusha et al.

Summary: The study found contrasting effects of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) on grain micronutrient content in different growing environments, with hybrids showing positive correlation between grain yield and Fe/Zn content under limited water conditions. Testers T1 and T2 were identified as good combiners for grain Zn content under irrigated and aerobic conditions, respectively.
