Common Names: green buckwheat, Japanese buckwheat, Tartary buckwheat
Researchers studied the role of phosphatidyl ethanolamine-binding protein in Tartary buckwheat, a valuable food crop. Understanding its function can improve crop yield and quality.
High-throughput sequencing identified endophytic fungi in Tartary buckwheat that improve flavonoid content and growth. Potential for using biological fertilizers to enhance crop quality and yield.
Researchers extracted rutin from buckwheat seeds and found it to have anticancer properties against Osteosarcoma cells. Buckwheat also has other health benefits like antibacterial and antioxidant properties.
Researchers studied the pea bZIP family, a plant-specific protein involved in important biological processes. Understanding this protein can help with plant improvement and stress response strategies.
