This book provides an extremely useful and comprehensive assessment of the mechanisms and processes underlying short-distance and long-distance transport of mineral nutrients and water in apoplastic compartments of plants. It comprises short review chapters of tools to probe the apoplast, along with experimental papers examining the relationships between apoplastic conditions and other physiological processes, including the role of the apoplast in plant-microbe interactions.

This study identifies more than 100 QTLs for seed concentrations of mineral elements using Columbia × Landsberg erecta and Cape Verde Islands × Landsberg erecta recombinant inbred lines. Candidate genes for QTLs are identified as potential targets for the biofortification of crops, but of particular interest are strong QTLs with no candidate genes, indicating the existence of novel genes affecting uptake and seed storage of mineral nutrients.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of variation in shoot Ca and Mg concentrations in Brassica oleracea. Several significant QTL were detected, in particular on chromosome 9, where they accounted for 14-55% of the variation in shoot Ca and Mg concentrations.

This article describes the aims of HarvestPlus, an international research program that aims to improve the micronutrient concentration of staple crops in developing countries by biofortification making use of both conventional breeding and biotechnological approaches. The relative utility of different analytical methods and genetic approaches is considered, as are the practical aspects influencing choice of crop varieties by the farmer.
