Turmeric, the rhizome of Curcuma longa, has a long history of use as a spice and also as a traditional medicine in many Asian countries. To reveal unique morphological features of a newly registered Curcuma cultivar, C longa cv. Okinawa Ougon (Ougon), non-targeted LC-MS and GC-MS analyses were conducted. The analysis revealed its distinctive chemical properties: lower amount of phytic acid and inorganic metals such as Fe, Mn, and Al, as well as higher concentrations of reduced derivatives of curcuminoids, such as dihydrobisdemethoxycurcumin, tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin, dihydrodemethoxycurcumin, and tetrahydrodemethoxycurcumin. In addition, germacrane-type sesquiterpenes were almost absent although α-humulene and β-caryophyllene, generated by the same biosynthetic route, were present. Presumably the alternation of the metal ion content, serving as a cofactor of sesquiterpene synthase, modulates the resulting variation of the sesquiterpenes. In summary, the cultivar Ougon is considered a promising candidate for functional food additives.

Phytic acid has two main roles in plant tissues: Storage of phosphorus and regulation of different cellular processes. From a nutritional point of view, it is considered an antinutritional compound because, being a cation chelator, its presence reduces mineral bioavailability from the diet. In recent decades, the development of low phytic acid (lpa) mutants has been an important goal for nutritional seed quality improvement, mainly in cereals and legumes. Different lpa mutations affect phytic acid biosynthetic genes. However, other lpa mutations isolated so far, affect genes coding for three classes of transporters: A specific group of ABCC type vacuolar transporters, putative sulfate transporters, and phosphate transporters. In the present review, we summarize advances in the characterization of these transporters in cereals and legumes. Particularly, we describe genes, proteins, and mutants for these different transporters, and we report data of in silico analysis aimed at identifying the putative orthologs in some other cereal and legume species. Finally, we comment on the advantage of using such types of mutants for crop biofortification and on their possible utility to unravel links between phosphorus and sulfur metabolism (phosphate and sulfate homeostasis crosstalk).

Abstract Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute one of the largest protein families in land plants. Recent studies revealed the functions of PPR proteins in organellar RNA metabolism and plant development, but the functions of most PPR proteins, especially PPRs localized in the nucleus, remain largely unknown. Here, we report the isolation and characterization of a rice mutant named floury and growth retardation1 (fgr1). fgr1 showed floury endosperm with loosely arranged starch grains, decreased starch and amylose contents, and retarded seedling growth. Map-based cloning showed that the mutant phenotype was caused by a single nucleotide substitution in the coding region of Os08g0290000. This gene encodes a nuclear-localized PPR protein, which we named OsNPPR1, that affected mitochondrial function. In vitro SELEX and RNA-EMSAs showed that OsNPPR1 was an RNA protein that bound to the CUCAC motif. Moreover, a number of retained intron (RI) events were detected in fgr1. Thus, OsNPPR1 was involved in regulation of mitochondrial development and/or functions that are important for endosperm development. Our results provide novel insights into coordinated interaction between nuclear-localized PPR proteins and mitochondrial function.

Abstract Phytic acid (myo-inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate), the major storage form of phosphorus in cereals, is considered as an antinutrient in food and feed. During the past few years, various cereals have been subjected to mutation breeding for generating low phytic acid (lpa) crops. Recently, it was demonstrated that reduction of phytic acid in the rice mutant Os-lpa-MH86-1 obtained by gamma irradiation was due to a disruption of OsSULTR3;3, an orthologue of the sulfate transporter family group 3 genes. The application of a GC/MS-based metabolite profiling approach revealed that the reduction of phytic acid was accompanied by changes in concentrations of metabolites from different classes in the Os-lpa-MH86-1 mutant.Lpa mutant lines often exhibit lower grain yield and seed viability compared with their wild-type parents. To improve the agronomic performance of the Os-lpa-MH86-1 mutant, cross-breeding with a commercial cultivar was performed. The resulting progenies were genotyped using molecular markers to identify homozygous wildtype and lpa mutants from generations F4 to F7. The objectives of this study were: (i) to observe the consistent metabolic changes in Os-lpa-MH86-1 lpa mutants by following their composition over several independent field trials; (ii) to investigate the impact of cross-breeding on the phytic acid content and the metabolic phenotype of the homozygous lpa mutant; and (iii) to assess the stability of the mutation-specific metabolite signature in the lpa progenies over several generations. Statistical assessment of the data via multivariate and univariate approaches demonstrated that the lpa trait and the mutation-induced metabolite signature in the lpa progenies were comparable to the progenitor Os-lpa-MH86-1 mutant and consistently expressed over generations. These findings extend the basis for implementing mutation breeding in the generation of lpa rice cultivars.
