Inheritance of seed iron and zinc concentrations in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) (2009, background): “In general terms, the range in iron and zinc concentrations observed in this study were similar to those in previous analyses of common beans (Beebe et al. 2000; Islam et al. 2002; House et al. 2002; Welch et al. 2000) and confirm the relatively high nutritional value of common beans compared to the”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine.

Genomics of Phaseolus Beans, a Major Source of Dietary Protein and Micronutrients in the Tropics (2008, background): “Genetic variation for seed content of these minerals has been demonstrated (Islam et al. 2002; Beebe et al. 2000a) and breeding for enhanced mineral content (biofortification) can therefore reasonably be expected (Guzmán-Maldonado et al.”
