Approaches to improving the bioavailability and level of iron in rice seeds

2001-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Iron deficiency is estimated to affect about 30% of the world population, making iron by far the most deficient nutrient worldwide. Iron supplementation in the form of tablets and food fortification has not been successful in developing countries, and iron deficiency is still the most important deficiency related to malnutrition. Here we present experiments that aim to increase the iron content in rice endosperm a...
