Combining genetic and agronomic fortification is essential to meet human health targets for zinc, iron, and protein concentrations in rice grains: A meta-analysis

2026-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Rice, consumed by half of the world’s population, is inherently low in zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and protein. We synthesized data from 245 studies across 34 countries to evaluate the impact of genetic, agronomic, and processing interventions on rice grain Zn, Fe, and protein concentrations. Zn-biofortified cultivars had 9.8% higher grain Zn concentrations than non-biofortified cultivars,...
