Biofortification of major crop plants with iron and zinc - achievements and future directions
(Springer Nature, 2022)
Biofortification is a long-term strategy of delivering more iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) to those most in need. Plant breeding programs within the CGIAR and NARS have made major advances in Fe- and Zn-dense variety development ...
Nitric Oxide Synthase Dependency in Hydroxyurea Inhibition of Erythroid Progenitor Growth
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
Hydroxyurea (HU) causes nitric oxide (NO) bioactivation, acting as both a NO donor and a stimulator of NO synthase (NOS). To examine whether HU effects are NO mediated by chemical degradation or enzymatic induction, we ...
