Functional analysis of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Cellulose synthase-like F6 promoter through transgene expression in rice (Oryza sativa L.).
Published 2020“…The knowledge of the functional aspects of the promoters are necessary prior to the application of the interested promoters to overexpress transgene in transgenic plants for gene study, improvement of quality traits and biofortification. Currently, there are lacking of characterised endosperm-specific promoters to produce strong transgene expression in the endosperm tissue of cereal plants at a specific grain development or maturation period. …”

Foliar Application of Selenium under Nano Silicon on <i>Artemisia annua</i>: Effects on Yield, Antioxidant Status, Essential Oil, Artemisinin Content and Mineral Composition
Published 2022-07-01“…Se/Si supplementation affected the macro- and microelements content, causing either a redistribution of leaves/stems elements (Al, Li and Zn) or a significant decrease in Ca, Mg, K, B, Cu, Fe and Mn concentrations in leaves, with no signs in growth inhibition or a decrease in the photosynthetic pigments content. The biofortification of <i>A. annua</i> with Se singly or in combination with nano-Si resulted in the synthesis of products with a Se content of as much as approximately 16% of the daily adequate Se consumption level (ACL) when using 5 g day<sup>−1</sup> as a spice, or 36% of ACL when using 50 mL of tea infusion (1:2, <i>v</i>/<i>w</i>). …”
