Detecting changes in the nutritional value and elemental composition of transgenic sorghum grain

Author: Ndimba, R ; Grootboom, AW ; Mehlo, L ; Mkhonza, NL ; Kossmann, J ; Barnabas, AD ; Mtshali, C ; Pineda-Vargasa, C Date: Sep 2015 We have previously demonstrated that poor digestibility in sorghum can be addressed by using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress kafirin synthesis. The approach resulted in a twofold improvement in overall protein digestibility levels. In the ... Read more
Using ICP and micro-PIXE to investigate possible differences in the mineral composition of genetically modified versus wild-type sorghum grain

Author: Ndimba, R ; Cloete, K ; Mehlo, Luke ; Kossmann, J ; Mtshali, C ; Pineda-Vargas, C Date: Aug 2017 In the present study, possible differences in the mineral composition of transgenic versus non-transgenic sorghum grains were investigated using inductively coupled atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES); and, in-tissue elemental mapping by ...
