Provitamin A Biofortification of Durum Wheat through a TILLING Approach

2019-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Macro and micronutrients, essential for the maintenance of human metabolism, are daily assimilated through the diet. Wheat and other major cereals are a good source of nutrients, such as carbohydrates and proteins, but cannot supply enough amounts of essential micronutrients which includes provitamin A. As vitamin A deficiency (VAD) lead to several serious diseases spread worldwide, the biofortification of a major...
