Metal homeostasis research in plants will lead to nutrient-rich food and higher yielding crops
Deficiencies of micronutrients such as Iron and Zinc commonly limit plant growth and crop yields. Dartmouth Professor Mary Lou Guerinot is conducting research to better understand the mechanisms of micronutrient uptake, distribution and regulation. Guerinot's findings are making it feasible to engineer nutrient-rich plants better able to grow in soils now considered marginal and to incr...Government Accused Of Yielding NHS To Outside Interests
