TL;DR: This study provides a novel gene resource for increasing nutrition uptake and reducing toxic metal accumulation in crops by overexpression of TaCNR2 in Arabidopsis and rice and showed that TaC NR2 can transport heavy metal ions.
Abstract: Soil microelement deficiency and heavy metal contamination affects plant growth and development, but improving trace element uptake and reducing heavy metal accumulation by genetic breeding can help alleviate this. Cell number regulator 2 (TaCNR2) from common wheat (Triticum aestivum) are similar to plant cadmium resistance proteins, involved with regulating heavy metal translocation. Our aim was to understand the effect of TaCNR2 on heavy metal tolerance and translocation. In this study, real-time quantitative PCR indicated TaCNR2 expression in the wheat seedlings increased under Cd, Zn and Mn treatment. Overexpression of TaCNR2 in Arabidopsis and rice enhanced its stress tolerance to Cd, Zn and Mn, and overexpression in rice improved Cd, Zn and Mn translocation from roots to shoots. The grain husks in overexpressed rice had higher Cd, Zn and Mn concentrations, but the brown rice accumulated less Cd but higher Mn than wild rice. The results showed that TaCNR2 can transport heavy metal ions. Thus, this study provides a novel gene resource for increasing nutrition uptake and reducing toxic metal accumulation in crops.

TL;DR: The developed chemical-free, fermented bark amendment (FBA) resulted in the fixation of heavy metals in the soil and suppressed their uptake in brown rice, and its effectiveness is related to application time and water regime.

TL;DR: The synergistic treatment of germination and exogenous enzymes significantly increased the digestibility of starch, but it deteriorated the fluidity, the rate of agglomeration and dispersion time, and DBRE produced a better quality instant brown rice powder.

TL;DR: In designing effective weight-management interventions for overweight Latino children, the study findings may prove useful in identifying healthy, well-accepted foods and beverages; agreeable physical activities; suitable targets for reducing inactivity; and efficacious strategies for enhancing traditional foods and meals so that there is an increased likelihood of healthy diet and weight loss.
