Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the most important micronutrient
disorders affecting human health. Wheat is the staple food for 35% of the world's population …

Plants are the ultimate source of iron in our diet, either directly as staple crops and
vegetables or indirectly via animal fodder. Increasing the iron concentration of edible parts of …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Iron is a vital micronutrient required for growth and development at all stages of human life.
Its deficiency is the primary cause of anemia that poses a significant global health problem …

Genetic diversity is paramount for cultivated crops genetic improvement, and for wheat this
resides in three gene pools of the Triticeae. In wheat, access to this diversity and its …

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the major causes of human disorders in the developing
world. Iron (Fe) is an important micronutrient due to its use in human metabolism such as …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain mineral concentrations tend to decrease as yields
increase, therefore, breeding for yield improvement may reduce wheat nutritional quality …

Available evidence and predictions suggest overall negative effects on agricultural
production as a result of climate change, especially when more food is required by a …

Crop biofortification is a sustainable and cost-effective strategy to address malnutrition in
developing countries. This review synthesizes the progress toward developing seed …
