The television show (RTV Slovenia 1. An hour or more with BoĊĦtjan)focusing on the mineral quality of cereals and pseudo cereals we presented our contribution to understand spatial distribution of elements in minerals of tartary buckwheat and wheat. In addition, ways of how to increase availability of elements by various processes (e.g. cooking, soaking, germination) via disruption of strong bond between P rich phytic acid and elements.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 27581991The Laboratory of Plant Physiology, at The Department of Biology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia is part of an international consortium which seeks to reveal the secrets behind the composition of elements in plant tissue. In this fascinating discussion, the partners outline the cutting-edge technology propelling this exciting field forward. By studying the structure and constitution of plants, scientists try to understand how they work. State-of-the-art imaging technologies reveal the spatial biochemical make-up of plants through visualising the elemental and molecular information present in plants at all levels of organisation. The bioimaging techniques developed by the consortium have applications in applied plant sciences, where it assists in the refinement of agricultural, food and bioremediation practices. Equipped with this ability to merge elemental, molecular and morphological information, the consortium is in a position to advise other scientists and students as well as public and private organisations about the applications of their work. As such, they hold regular multidisciplinary workshops to spread the latest news and information about cutting-edge instrumentation and plant nutrient related enquiries.
