Developing and deploying cotton cultivars with high nutrient uptake, use efficiency and tolerance to nutrient related soil stresses is desirable to assist sustainable soil management. Genetic variation, heritability, selection response and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were investigated for five macronutrients (P, K, Ca, Mg, S) and five micronutrients (Fe, Mn, B, Zn, and Cu) in a recombinant i...

OBJECTIVES To study the effect of combining multiple (two or more) micronutrients with Fe supplementation on Hb response, when compared with placebo and with Fe supplementation, in children. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases, personal files, hand search of reviews, bibliographies of books, and abstracts and proceedings of international conferences. REVIEW METHODS Randomized controlled trial...

Cultivating drug-type Cannabis sativa L. with aquaponics could reduce mineral fertilizer use; however, its nutrient solution is often unbalanced and low in K + micronutrients. It unknown if a fertilizer, micronutrient or both, would improve C. production aquaponic solution, as optimal concentrations the root zone for during flowering stage have not been investigated. To determine effects of add...

Nutritional biochemistry is not a subject with which most psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychopharmacologists are familiar. A stream of recent epidemiological studies and clinical trials, however, indicates that understanding of nutritional biochemistry is soon going to be essential for anyone working with mentally ill patients. Those who are tempted to dismiss this statement as airy-fairy ...

background and objectives: multiple sclerosis (ms) is the most prevalent autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, and it has been suggested that nutrition might play a role in the etiology of ms. this study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between ms risk and intake of some macro- and micro-nutrients in tehran (iran). materials and methods: in this hospital based, case-control st...

Micronutrients are known to play an important role in the metabolism and physiological activities of the human body. Unfortunately, over three billion people in the world are malnourished. The development of crops with enhanced mineral concentration is one of the most sustainable and cost effective approaches for alleviating micronutrient malnutrition. This review focuses on the progress made i...

Adverse dietary factors account for approximately 30% of all cancers. Overconsumption of energy is undoubtedly one of the major risk factors, but dietary composition is also very important. In particular, a low consumption of fruits and vegetables appears to double the risk of carcinomas of the lung and alimentary tract. Epidemiological studies suggest that high plasma levels of Se, carotenoids...
