increasing the nicotianamine concentration of sweet potato by overexpression of the enzyme (HvNAS1) can significantly improve agricultural productivity and energy source. The transgenic sweet potato contains increased levels of Fe, Zn and nicotianamine, in the leaves |

overexpression of the nicotianamine synthase gene enhances nicotianamine levels in several crops, including crops in which endogenous nicotianamine is already high, such as soybean and sweet potato. Additionally, nicotianamine synthase overexpression enhances the Fe and Zn concentrations and confers tolerance to Fe deficiency in calcareous soil |

rice nicotinamine synthase 2 expression improves dietary iron and zinc levels in wheat. Wheat lines expressing rice nicotianamine synthase 2 (OsNAS2) and bean FERRITIN (PvFERRITIN) as single genes as well as in combination are devekopedgenes. Wheat lines expressing OsNAS2 greatly surpass the HarvestPlus recommended target level of 30% dietary estimated average requirement for iron, and 40 % of EAR for zinc, with lines containing 0.0931 mg/g of iron and 0.1406 mg/g of zinc in the grains. These wheat lines with dietary significant levels of iron and zinc represent useful germplasm for breeding new wheat varieties that can reduce micronutrient deficiencies in affected populations |

the 21 Triticum aestivum nicotianamine synthase genes represent a valuable resource for plant breeders working to improve the growth, yield and nutritional value of bread wheat. Iron toxicity often occurs when wheat plants are cultivated under waterlogged conditions, while Fe deficiency can occur in plants grown on calcareous soil. These abiotic stresses frequently lead to early leaf senescence and negatively impact on grain yield and quality. Altered expression of specific Triticum aestivum nicotianamine synthase genes can either increase or suppress the Fe deficiency response and thereby facilitate the development of bread wheat cultivars adapted to Fe-rich or Fe-poor growth conditions. Increased activity of Triticum aestivum nicotianamine synthase genes with expression within the wheat varieties containing enhanced concentrations of bioavailable grain Fe |
