Optimizing the beneficial mineral elements in rice grains is of interest for rice breeders. To
study the environmental effects on mineral accumulation in rice grains, we grew a double …

Grain minerals in rice, especially those in milled grains, are important sources of micro-
nutrition elements, such as iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), and selenium …

Abstract In present study, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ca, Mg, P and K contents of 85 introgression lines
(ILs) derived from a cross between an elite indica cultivar Teqing and the wild rice (Oryza …

An association mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulating the concentrations of eight
elements in brown rice (Oryza sativa L.) was performed using USDA mini-core subset …

In the modern world, the grain mineral concentration (GMC) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) not only
includes important micronutrient elements such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), but it also …

Mineral elements in brown rice grain play an important role in human health. In this study,
variations in the content of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) …

Macro-and microelement contents are important traits for nutritional quality in rice. In this
study, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for the contents of seven mineral elements in milled rice …

Key message Genome differentiation has shaped the divergence in element concentration
between rice subspecies and contributed to the correlation among trace minerals in the rice …

Developing rice varieties with increased mineral element content is the most cost-effective
and efficient approach for alleviating human malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies. In this …

Biofortifying food crops with essential minerals would help to alleviate mineral deficiencies
in humans. Detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for mineral nutrient contents in rice was …
