Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is esteemed as a medicinal crop due to its high nutritional and health value. However, the genetic basis for the variations in Tartary buckwheat grain ionome remains inadequately understood. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on grain ionome, 52 genetic loci are identified associated with 10 elements undergoing selection. Molecular experiments have shown that the variation in FtACA13's promoter (an auto-inhibited Ca-ATPase) is accountable for grain sodium concentration and salt tolerance, which underwent selection during domestication. FtYPQ1 (a vacuolar amino acid transporter) exhibits zinc transport activity, enhancing tolerance to excessive zinc stress and raising zinc accumulation. Additionally, FtNHX2 (a Na/H exchanger) positively regulates arsenic content. Further genomic comparative analysis of "20A1" (wild accession) and "Pinku" (cultivated accession) unveiled structural variants in key genes involved in ion uptake and transport that may result in considerable changes in their functions. This research establishes the initial comprehensive grain ionome atlas in Tartary buckwheat, which will significantly aid in genetic improvement for nutrient biofortification.

The utilization of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) as nanocarriers for oral delivery of bioactives has garnered significant attention. However, their distinctive lipid membrane composition may result in elevated membrane permeability within the gastrointestinal environment, leading to the leakage of carried bioactives. Inspired by the concept of projectile design, Tartary buckwheat-derived ELNs (TB-ELNs) based dual-carriers are fabricated by loading chlorogenic acid (CGA) into the cores and bonding selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to the lipid membrane.

Tartary buckwheat staple foods are gaining increasing attraction among individuals with hyperglycemia due to their high bioflavonoid content, which inhibits starch digestion. However, these bioflavonoids also impart undesirable flavors, such as bitterness, which significantly impairs the palatability and consumer acceptance of Tartary buckwheat staple foods. In this study, the flavor characteristics of Tartary buckwheat noodles were analyzed, and methods to reduce bitterness were investigated using psychophysical techniques.

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is a traditional cereal crop cultivated in hilly, arid, cool mountainous regions. The bHLH transcription factors play a pivotal role in regulating flavonoid metabolism and enhancing resistance to extreme environments in Tartary buckwheat. However, the functional characterization of bHLH genes in this species remains incomplete.

Rutin-degrading enzymes play a crucial role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of rutin (quercetin 3--rutinoside) into the bitter compound quercetin, contributing significantly to the bitterness of Tartary buckwheat () (TB). Mitigating this bitterness is vital for improving the palatability and marketability of TB products. In this study, we integrated genomic and transcriptomic data with molecular docking analyses to identify 12 potential rutin-degrading enzymes in TB.
