The usefulness of iron bioavailability as a target trait for breeding maize (Zea mays L.) with enhanced nutritional value

2011-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Iron (Fe) deficiency is the most widespread nutritional problem, affecting as many as half of the world's population. Only a small fraction (2–15%) of Fe from plant sources is typically bioavailable, that is, available for absorption and nutritionally useful for humans. This study evaluated Fe concentration and bioavailability for three diverse sets of 12, 14 and 16 maize hybrids grown in two- or three-location tr...
