e0“The lowering of grain PA was also accompanied by a significant increase in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content, thereby enhancing their molar ratios (Zn:PA and Fe:PA).”
t0“RNAi-Mediated Downregulation of Inositol Pentakisphosphate Kinase (IPK1) in Wheat Grains Decreases Phytic Acid Levels and Increases Fe and Zn Accumulation”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect TaIPK1 RNAi lines had 28%-56% less grain phytic acid.
- Intervention effect IPK1 silencing increased free phosphate in mature grains.
- Intervention effect IPK1 silencing did not visibly change spike phenotype.
- Association Lower grain phytic acid was associated with fewer seeds per spikelet.
- Association Lower grain phytic acid was accompanied by increased zinc content.
- Association The Zn:PA molar ratio increased as grain phytic acid fell.
- Association The Fe:PA molar ratio increased as grain phytic acid fell.
- Recommendation The authors propose IPK1 as a genome editing target for wheat grain mineral accumulation.
