How Does Contamination of Rice Soils with Cd and Zn Cause High Incidence of Human Cd Disease in Subsistence Rice Farmers (2015, background): “Further, although brown rice is increased appreciably in Zn by foliar Zn sprays during grain filling, endosperm is only slightly increased in Zn [75, 76].”
Micronutrient enrichment mediated by plant-microbe interactions and rice cultivation practices (2016, background): “…that micronutrients such as iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) are essential for plants, humans, and animals, and increasing the micronutrient density of staple crops such as rice can play a critical role in improving human nutrition on a global scale (Waters et al., 2011; Jiang et al., 2008).”
Evaluating rice germplasm for iron and zinc concentration in brown rice and seed dimensions (2012, background): “Around 75% of total grain Zn was reported to be present in the endosperm of brown rice [12], while Takahashi et al.”
