From leaf to cup: the essential role of magnesium in tea plant metabolism
A pivotal study illuminates the essential function of magnesium in the metabolic and genetic makeup of tea plants. The research uncovers how magnesium deficiency impacts key growth processes and the synthesis of compounds that dictate tea’s taste and quality. The identification of the CsMGT5 gene as a critical magnesium transporter offers a significant breakthrough, paving the way for enhancing tea cultivation and improving the final product’s flavor profile.
Low magnesium levels increase disease risk, new study shows
A new Australian study has identified why a diet rich in magnesium is so important for our health, reducing the risk of DNA damage and chronic degenerative disorders.
Simple Process Extracts Valuable Magnesium Salt from Seawater
A new, simple, and efficient flow-based method allows researchers to pull a useful magnesium salt from natural seawater using easily available chemicals.
Completing the micronutrient picture for plant-based milk alternatives
Plant-based milk alternatives are an attractive option for many people. But some minerals are required to be on the Nutrition Facts label only under certain circumstances. Now, researchers have analyzed plant-based beverages and report variability in mineral content. They will present their results at ACS Fall 2022.
Riveting Technology Enables Lightweight Magnesium Fasteners for Fuel Efficiency
Rotational Hammer Riveting, developed by PNNL, joins dissimilar materials quickly without preheating rivets. The friction-based riveting enables use of lightweight magnesium rivets and also works on aluminum and speeds manufacturing.
