Biofortification strategies to increase grain zinc and iron concentrations in wheat (2014, background): “Another reason for greater G E interaction for Zn concentration may be its quantitative inheritance, as reported in maize and rice (Gregorio et al., 2000; Long et al., 2004).”
HarvestPlus: Breeding Crops for Better Nutrition (2007, background): “Growing evidence from HarvestPlus research supports fi ndings that Fe and Zn concentration is controlled by several (2–5) relevant genes, and that mineral heritability is of intermediate magnitude (Philip and Maloo, 1996; Maloo et al., 1998; Long et al., 2004; Cichy et al., 2005).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “In addition, highly significant positive correlations between grain Fe and Zn concentrations have been observed in maize (MaziyaDixon et al., 2000; Long et al., 2004), wheat (Graham et al., 1999; Garvin et al., 2006), sorghum (Reddy et al., 2005) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum; Velu et al.,…”
