Scientists Cracked the Genetic Recipe for Mungbean's Hidden Superfood Compound
Isovitexin is a rare plant chemical with health potential—but mungbeans don't all make it equally. This work is like finding the instruction manual that tells some plants to dial up production and others to skip it.
This means plant scientists can now breed higher-nutrition crops using genetic markers, turning abstract DNA sequences into more nutritious food on your plate.
