Very good area of study, possibly she could consider open pollinated
crops in comparison to their hybrid cousins...looking at mineral
content, vitamins, etc. I believe OP usually willl uptake a more varied
nutrient mix, tho sometimes fail on depleted soils where hybrids
willget by.
Im still a firm believer that the real limiting factor in uptake of
nutrient by any particular crop is the soil the crop is grown
in....Study of nutrient uptake for the improvement of the "genome" is
certainly warranted, but is still a bandaid , I believe ,in comparison
to studying methods/theories on soil balancing...
which is truly a multi-lifetime endeavor.
