Exploiting genotypic variation in plant nutrient accumulation to alleviate micronutrient deficiency in populations.

Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology : organ of the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements (GMS) - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

More than 2 billion people consume diets that are less diverse than 30 years ago, leading to deficiencies in micronutrients, especially iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), iodine (I), and also vitamin A. A strategy that exploits genetic variability to breed staple crops with enhanced ability to fortify themselves with micronutrients (genetic biofortification) offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to...
