Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Micronutrient malnutrition, particularly deficiencies of iron, zinc, and protein in the human diet, remains a major global health challenge. Biofortification of staple crops such as wheat offers a cost-effective and sustainable approach to address the hidden hunger issue and improve nutritional quality by increasing the content of essential micronutrients. In this study, a panel of 283 diverse bread...
