Oxalic acid is a naturally occurring metabolite in plants and a common constituent of all plant-derived human
diets. Oxalic acid has diverse unrelated roles in plant metabolism, including pH regulation in association with
nitrogen metabolism, metal ion homeostasis and calcium storage. In plants, oxalic acid is also a pathogenesis
factor and is secreted by various fungi during host infection. Unlike those of plants, fungi and bacteria, the
human genome does not contain any oxalate-degrading genes, and therefore, the consumption of large amounts
of plant-derived oxalate is considered detrimental to human health. In this review, we discuss recent biotechnological
approaches that have been used to reduce the oxalate content of plant tissues.
