Micronutrient Density and Stability in West African Pearl Millet—Potential for Biofortification

2014-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the most important cereals in West and Central Africa (WCA). Human populations in WCA are strongly affected by micronutrient deficiencies. Biofortification, the development of pearl millet varieties with enhanced micronutrient levels, is recognized as a suitable approach to reducing this widespread health problem. To assess the potential of biofortification o...
