Zinc biofortification in rice: leveraging agriculture to moderate hidden hunger in developing countries (2018, background): “However, the application of molecular physiology and genetic control are considered the main sources of higher Zn and other micronutrients in cereal grains (Lucca et al. 2006; Johnson et al. 2011).”
Overexpression of the Barley Nicotianamine Synthase Gene HvNAS1 Increases Iron and Zinc Concentrations in Rice Grains (2009, background): “Biofortification (i.e., breeding micronutrient-fortified crops) is particularly advantageous for people living in rural areas because it does not require specific processing techniques after harvest or specialized infrastructure (Lucca et al. 2006).”
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].”
Enrichment of cereal grains with zinc: Agronomic or genetic biofortification? (2007, background): “When reacting with Zn, DTZ forms a red DTZ-complex which indicates localization of Zn (for further details see Ozturk et al. 2006) crops with Zn and other micronutrients are referred to White and Broadley (2005), Lucca et al. (2006) and Ghandilyan et al. (2006).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “Transgenic approaches to increase the bioavailability of Fe, Zn and Ca in food have focused on reducing the concentrations of antinutrients, such as oxalate, polyphenolics and phytate, and increasing the concentrations of promoter substances, such as ascorbate, β-carotene and cysteine-rich polypepti”
Effect of foliar application of Zn and Fe on wheat yield and quality (2009, unknown): “Little information is, however, available about the genetic control and molecular physiological mechanisms contributing to high accumulation of Zn and other micronutrients in grain of different genetic materials (White and Broadley, 2005; Ghandilyan et al., 2006; Lucca et al., 2006 ).”
Increase in Iron and Zinc Concentrations in Rice Grains Via the Introduction of Barley Genes Involved in Phytosiderophore Synthesis (2008, background): “Previously, the main way to improve the Fe concentration of rice grains was to increase the expression of ferritin using endosperm-specific promoters [13].”
Consumer acceptance of provitamin A-biofortified maize in Maputo, Mozambique (2008, background): “Also, farmers in remote areas who may have limited access to other interventions can grow the crops themselves and store them for continuous consumption through the year (Nestel et al., 2006; Lucca et al., 2006).”
