TL;DR: The International Year of Quinoa was declared by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UNFPA) in 2013 as mentioned in this paper, and the main characteristics of quinoa, its origin and genetic diversity, its exceptional tolerance to drought and salinity, its nutritional properties, the reasons why this crop can offer several ecosystem services, and the role of Andean farmers in preserving its agrobiodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in salinity tolerance of four lowland genotypes of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) as assessed by growth, physiological traits, and sodium transporter gene expression.

TL;DR: Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of two sodium transporter genes revealed that their expression was differentially induced at the shoot and root level, and between genotypes, by 300mM NaCl, which affected the root/shoot ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.): potential and perspectives
Andrés Zurita-Silva,Francisco Fuentes,Pablo Zamora,Pablo Zamora,Sven-Erik Jacobsen,Andrés R. Schwember +5 more
TL;DR: New molecular tools available for the existing quinoa breeding programs, which are critically examined in this review, will enable us to tackle the limitations of allotetraploidy and genetic specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The xipotl mutant of Arabidopsis reveals a critical role for phospholipid metabolism in root system development and epidermal cell integrity.
Alfredo Cruz-Ramírez,José López-Bucio,Gabriel Ramírez-Pimentel,Andrés Zurita-Silva,Lenin Sánchez-Calderón,Enrique Ramírez-Chávez,Emmanuel González-Ortega,Luis Herrera-Estrella +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that molecules produced downstream of the PCho biosynthesis pathway play key roles in root development and act as signals for cell integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
AtHMA1 Is a Thapsigargin-sensitive Ca2+/Heavy Metal Pump
Ignacio Moreno,Lorena Norambuena,Daniel Maturana,Mauricio Toro,Cecilia Vergara,Ariel Orellana,Andrés Zurita-Silva,Viviana R. Ordenes,Viviana R. Ordenes +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AtHMA1 functions as a Ca2+/heavy metal pump, the first described plant P-type pump specifically inhibited by thapsigargin.
