Can We Improve the Nutritional Quality of Legume Seeds?
Abstract
The Food and Agriculture Organization statistics for 2001 (http://apps.fao.org/page/collections?subset=agriculture) show that 274 million metric tons of grain legumes were produced across the world, of which 177 million were soybeans (Glycine max; one-half of which were produced in the U.S.) compared with 2 trillion metric tons of cereals. Legume seeds are put to a myriad of uses, both nutritional and industrial, and in some parts of the developing world they are the principle source of protein for humans. They form a very important part of our diet and that of other animals. However, compared with meat, our main source of protein, legumes are deficient in sulfur-containing amino acids. Legume seeds are also an important source of dietary minerals, with the potential to provide all 15 of the essential minerals required by man (Grusak, 2002). The concentrations of certain minerals (especially Fe, Zn, and Ca), however, are low relative to animal food products.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
