A two-gene strategy increases the iron and zinc concentration of wheat flour and improves mineral bioaccesibility for human nutrition

2022-02-18

Abstract excerpt

Dietary deficiencies of iron and zinc cause human malnutrition globally, which can be mitigated by biofortified staple crops. Conventional breeding approaches to increase grain mineral concentrations in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) have had only limited success so far due to relatively low genetic variation. Here we demonstrate that a transgenic approach combining endosperm-specific expression of the wheat vacuo...
