| 1 | The maize low-phytic acid mutant lpa2 is caused by mutation in an inositol phosphate kinase gene. | Phytic Acid | inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 1 | Zea mays |
| 2 | Using a reverse genetics approach, we found that the maize (Zea mays) low-phytic acid lpa2 mutant is caused by mutation in an inositol phosphate kinase gene. | Phytic Acid | inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 1 | Zea mays |
| 3 | The ZmIpk mRNA is expressed in the embryo, the organ where phytic acid accumulates in maize seeds. | Phytic Acid | inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 1 | Zea mays |
| 4 | In the ZmIpk Mu insertion mutants, seed phytic acid content is reduced approximately 30%, and inorganic phosphate is increased about 3-fold. | Phytic Acid | inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 1 | Zea mays |
| 5 | These results provide evidence that ZmIpk is one of the kinases responsible for phytic acid biosynthesis in developing maize seeds. | Phytic Acid | inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase 1 | Zea mays |
