Biofortification is a long-term strategy of delivering more iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) to those most
in need. Plant breeding programs within the CGIAR and NARS have made major advances …

Plants require zinc (Zn) as an essential cofactor for diverse molecular, cellular and
physiological functions. Zn is crucial for crop yield, but is one of the most limiting …

Biofortification is a sustainable strategy to alleviate micronutrient deficiency in humans. It is
necessary to improve grain zinc (GZnC) and iron concentrations (GFeC) in wheat based on …

Deficiency of micronutrient elements, such as zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), is called “hidden
hunger,” and bio-fortification is the most effective way to overcome the problem. In this study …

Background Deciphering the hereditary mechanism of seed iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content
in soybean is important and sustainable to address the “hidden hunger” that presently …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) enrichment in cereal grains is a promising method to relieve
human Zn malnutrition. Many factors influence grain Zn accumulation, but the role of …

Malnutrition is a major challenge globally, and groundnut is a highly nutritious self‐
pollinated legume crop blessed with ample genomic resources, including the routine …

Increasing iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in crop grains with high yield is an effective
measure to ensure food supply and alleviate mineral malnutrition in humans. Micronutrient …

Rust diseases, including leaf rust, stripe/yellow rust, and stem rust, significantly impact wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) yields, causing substantial economic losses every year. Breeding and …

Key message Major QTL for grain zinc and iron concentrations were identified on the long
arm of chromosomes 2D and 6D. Gene-based KASP markers were developed for putative …
