University of Copenhagen: LITTLE NINJA protein helps crops grow more side shoots


Share
As the world’s population grows, so does its need for food. Consequently, we need more tools to enhance agricultural efficiency and sustainability.
A research team led by the University of Copenhagen has discovered a microscopic thing with the potential to make an enormous difference a microProtein that can control the physical shape of plants including barley and rice and potentially make them more productive. The microProtein has been named LITTLE NINJA.
“By increasing LITTLE NINJA levels, we have been able to observe plants that are smaller and bushier. That is, we can force a plant to take on a different shape. This is a coveted feature of crop plants, as it makes them more resistant to wind. More side shoots can also result in more flowers and thereby more fruit. By adjusting the amount of LITTLE NINJA in a plant, there is a potential for more productive and sustainably grown crops,” explains Associate Professor Stephan Wenkel of the University of Cope ....

Insight into how plants sense zinc could help cultivate more nutritious crops


Insight into how plants sense zinc could help cultivate more nutritious crops
Over 2 billion people worldwide are malnourished due to zinc deficiency. Led by the University of Copenhagen, an international team of researchers has discovered how plants sense zinc and use this knowledge to enhance plant zinc uptake, leading to an increase in seed zinc content by 50 percent.
The new knowledge might one day be applied towards the cultivation of more nutritious crops.
A deficiency of zinc and other essential dietary nutrients is one of the greatest causes of malnutrition worldwide. More than two billion people are estimated to suffer from zinc deficiency, a problem that can lead to impaired immune systems, mental disorders, and stunting. ....
