HarvestPlus: Breeding Crops for Better Nutrition (2007, background): “Ranges in micronutrient concentrations reported in the literature reveal signifi cant genetic variation for numerous crops, including barley (Ma et al., 2004), beans (Beebe et al., 2000; Nunez-Gonzalez et al., 2002; Wissuwa, 2005), cassava (Maziya-Dixon et al., 2000; Chavez et al., 2000, 2005 ), ma”
Rapid Cycling Recurrent Selection for Increased Carotenoids Content in Cassava Roots (2013, methodology): “Biofortification can be achieved through conventional breeding techniques that take advantage of the genetic variability for micronutrients in different crops (Welch and Graham, 2005; Chávez et al., 2005), but also through genetic transformation (Failla et al., 2012; Welsch et al., 2010).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine.
