From: Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumulation in wheat grain
Overview of crop management strategies and their effects on asparagine levels. Crop management strategies (green boxes) help to mitigate plant stressors (red boxes) and influence plant growth, with variable impacts on asparagine levels. Disease control, irrigation, and application of nutrients like sulphur (S) help to combat stressors which otherwise increase asparagine accumulation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation has mixed effects on asparagine accumulation due to its provision of nitrogen and other nutrients. Application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser increases asparagine levels as a result of increased nitrogen storage and its mobilisation as asparagine
