Macro- and Micronutrients from Traditional Food Plants Could Improve Nutrition and Reduce Non-Communicable Diseases of Islanders on Atolls in the South Pacific Open
Pacific Islanders have paid dearly for abandoning traditional diets, with diabetes and other non-communicable diseases (NCD) widespread. Starchy root crops like sweet potato, taro, and cassava are difficult to grow on the potassium-deficie…

Bread Wheat With High Salinity and Sodicity Tolerance Open
Soil salinity and sodicity are major constraints to global cereal production, but breeding for tolerance has been slow. Narrow gene pools, over-emphasis on the sodium (Na+) exclusion mechanism, little attention to osmotic stress/tissue tol…

Uncoupling of sodium and chloride to assist breeding for salinity tolerance in crops Open
Summary The separation of toxic effects of sodium (Na + ) and chloride (Cl − ) by the current methods of mixed salts and subsequent determination of their relevance to breeding has been problematic. We report a novel method (Na + humate) t…
