Producing more with less: Strategies and novel technologies for plant-based food biofortification (2013, background): “For instance, the Fe level in rice increased by 3- to 4-fold due to the expression of ferritin, an iron-storage protein (Goto et al., 2000; Vasconcelos et al., 2003).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “The overexpression of plant ferritin genes has also been reported to increase Fe concentrations in lettuce leaves (Goto et al., 2000).”
Managing the Nutrition of Plants and People (2012, unknown): “in rice grain [160, 165, 166] and Fe concentrations in maize seeds [167], lettuce leaves [168], tomato fruits, and potato tubers [169].”
