Zinc fertilization influence on maize productivity and grain nutritional quality under integrated soil fertility management in Zimbabwe (2014, background): “Most cereals contain anti-nutritional factors that include phytic acid, a form in which up to 85% P is stored, mostly in the aleurone and embryo parts of the grain (Mazzolini et al., 1985; Graham et al., 2001).”
Mineral nutrition of wheat, chickpea and lentil as affected by mixed cropping and soil moisture (2007, background): “However, because they are staple crops with high consumption, any increase in mineral nutrient content might have a significant effect on human nutrition (Graham et al. 1998; Graham and Welch 2001; Cakmak 2002).”
Zinc in plants. (2007, background): “Several billion people worldwide have Zn-deficient diets, and this within-species genetic variation is providing a valuable genetic resource to select or breed crops with increased Zn concentrations in their edible portions, notably in several cereal, legume, root and leafy vegetable crops (Graham e”
Adapting wheat cultivars to resource conserving farming practices and human nutritional needs (2005, background): “It is estimated that 3 billion people suffer from Fe and Zn deficiencies worldwide (Graham et al., 2001).”
Evaluation of cowpea germplasm lines for protein and mineral concentrations in grains (2011, background): “According to Graham et al. (2001), this requires that the bioavailability of Fe, Zn, provitamin A carotenoids and other micronutrients in selected micronutrient-enriched genotypes of staple plant foods be demonstrated, to ensure a human health impact before advancing genotypes in breeding…”
Micronutrient-efficient genotypes for crop yield and nutritional quality in sustainable agriculture. A review (2011, background): “Furthermore, the adoption and spread of micronutrient enriched seeds by farmers can be driven by profit incentives because micronutrient enriched seeds increase crop productivity when planted in micronutrient-poor soils (Graham et al., 2001).”
Selenium concentration in wheat grain: Is there sufficient genotypic variation to use in breeding? (2005, background): “A four- to five-fold variation was found between the lowest and highest grain Fe and Zn concentrations among wheat accessions studied at CIMMYT, and the highest concentrations were double those of popular modern varieties (Graham et al., 2001).”
Quantitative trait loci for phytate in rice grain and their relationship with grain micronutrient content (2007, background): “Phytic acid may play important roles in lowering chronic disease rates in humans, including certain types of cancers and heart diseases ( Graham et al. 2001 ).”
