Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the important abiotic factors limiting rice
productivity worldwide and also a widespread nutritional disorder affecting human health …

The development of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars with a higher Zn content in their grains
has been suggested as a way to alleviate Zn malnutrition in human populations subsisting …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency in rice has been widely reported in many rice-growing regions of the
world. A greenhouse experiment was conducted with the objective of determining Zn …

Though rice is the predominant source of energy and micronutrients for more than half of the
world population, it does not provide enough zinc (Zn) to match human nutritional …

Zinc (Zn) is one of the most essential micronutrients required for the growth and
development of human beings. More than one billion people, particularly children and …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a widely occurring constraint for rice production and for human
nutrition. Scarcity of water is leading to a shift from flooded to aerobic rice production, which …

ABSTRACT A restricted dietary range and a deficit of essential minerals such as zinc (Zn)
characterize the diets of under-nourished people. Zn deficiency is a global nutritional …

Zinc biofortification in rice can be improved by altering Zn application timing and placement
and cultivar choice. We made a comprehensive assessment on this, analysing Zn, Fe and …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and a potentially
important source of zinc (Zn) in the diet. The improvement of Zn content of rice is a global …

Abstract Background Increasing zinc (Zn) concentration of rice seed has potential benefits
for human nutrition and health. Enhanced levels of Zn in grain also contributes greatly to …
