Scientists Unveil New Phosphorus-Rich Rice Architecture To Improve Nutrient Intake
Scientists have discovered a new way to increase phosphorus levels in rice, a vital nutrient for human health. The research, published in Nature Communications, shows that a new architecture of phosphorus in the rice plant increases the nutrient content of the grain. The research team found that by changing the structure of the rice plant, they could increase the amount of phosphorus available for uptake by the plant. This has potential implications for improving crop yields and providing a sustainable source of nutrition in many parts of the world. The study suggests that this new architecture of phosphorus could provide a more efficient way of delivering the nutrient to plants, potentially increasing rice yields and helping to reduce the global burden of nutrient deficiency.
