Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “Significant within-species genetic variation in β-carotene concentration has been found in edible portions of a number of crop species, including cassava (Chávez et al., 2000, 2005; Maziya-Dixon et al., 2000; Thakkar et al., 2007), carrot (Nicolle et al.”
Biofortification: Progress toward a more nourishing future (2013, background): “Initial research indicated that selection of lines with diverse vitamin and mineral profiles could be exploited for genetic improvement (Dwivedi et al., 2012; Gregorio, 2002; Ashok Kumar et al., 2012; Velu et al., 2012; Gomez-Becerra et al., 2010; Maziya-Dixon et al., 2000; Talukder et al., 2010; Ji”
