Plant Micronutrient Interactions and Effects
Abstract
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a valuable cereal crop for tackling micronutrient malnutrition globally through biofortification of essential nutrients, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). Sorghum seeds exhibit significant variability in Fe and Zn content, yet only two biofortified varieties have been released so far. In this study, a comprehensive in silico identification, characterization, and expression analysis of Fe and Zn transporters was conducted to shortlist putative candidates for sorghum seed biofortification. A total of 61 transporters belonging to YSL, ZIP, HMA, NRAMP, NAS, FER, and VIT gene families were shortlisted. Their gene models, unique motifs, chromosomal locations, phylogenetic relationships, protein–protein interactions, and cis-elements were determined. Expression profiling of developing S. bicolor M35-1 seeds, and other tissues including leaf, stem, root, panicle, and mature seeds revealed putative candidates regulating Fe and Zn accumulation in seeds. These candidates will leverage future breeding and genome editing efforts for sorghum seed biofortification.
Some claim that especially in the field of agile software development the research lags years behind of the practice. In this paper, we characterize the status and main challenges for research on agile software development, and propose a preliminary roadmap, focusing on providing more empirical research, primarily on e...

Agile methods continue to gain popularity. In particular, the Scrum method appears to be on the verge of becoming a de-facto standard in the industry, leading the so called Agile movement. While there are success stories and recommendations, there is little scientifically valid evidence of the challenges in the adoptio...
