TL;DR: In this paper, RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated down-regulation of a major ITPK homolog (OsITP5/6K-1) resulted in 46.2% decrease in phytic acid content of T2 transgenic seeds with a subsequent 3-fold enhancement in inorganic phosphorus content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetically engineered rice with appA gene enhanced phosphorus and minerals
Sananda Bhattacharya,Shinjini Sengupta,Aritra Karmakar,Sailendra Nath Sarkar,Gaurab Gangopadhyay,Karabi Datta,Swapan K. Datta +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that tissue-specific expression of bacterial phytase can lead to the reduction of phytic acid in rice seeds without hampering its other physiological processes and phenotypic cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNAi-mediated down-regulation of ITPK-2 enhanced inorganic phosphorus and minerals in the transgenic rice.
Shinjini Sengupta,Sananda Bhattacharya,Aritra Karmakar,Subhrajyoti Ghosh,Sailendra Nath Sarkar,Gaurab Gangopadhyay,Karabi Datta,Swapan K. Datta +7 more
TL;DR: Down-regulating ITPK, the gene behind the phytic acid biosynthesis so that its low amount would facilitate a greater amount of free mineral ions in the endosperm, obtained a 37% reduction of phytate content accompanied by a nearly three-fold enhancement of inorganic phosphorus in the transgenic seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofortified Crops – Boon for Nutritional Security
Shuvobrata Majumder,Karabi Datta,Dipak Gayen,Soumitra Paul,Nusrat Ali,Subhrajyoti Ghosh,Aritra Karmakar,Sananda Bhattacharya,Shinjini Sengupta,Swapan K. Datta +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight some selected Bio-fortified crops with special reference to rice (Oryza sativa ), as 50% of the global population relies on it.
