Biofortification of wheat through inoculation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and cyanobacteria (2012, background): “Although, the concentrations of some essential mineral elements, such as Se and S, are highest in the embryo, others, such as Fe, Zn and Cu, are highest in the bran [3,28].”
Effect of different foliar zinc application at different growth stages on seed zinc concentration and its impact on seedling vigor in rice (2013, background): “Ranges of 13.5 to 58.4 mg Zn kg 1 have been reported for a large rice germplasm at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) which averaged only 25.4 mg Zn kg 1 compared with 35.0 mg Zn kg 1 in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (Welch and Graham 2002).”
Integrating a broader notion of food security and gender empowerment into the African Green Revolution (2009, background): “Although massive efforts were taken to decrease hunger in India, 50% of children across South Asia continue to suffer from undernutrition (UNICEF 2009; Von Braun et al. 2008).”
Africa human development report 2012: towards a food secure future (2012, neutral): “44 Welch and Graham 2002; Welch 2002.”
The potential of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) as a whole food for increased selenium, iron, and zinc intake: preliminary results from a 3 year study (2011, background): “Biofortification may increase both the concentration of essential micronutrients and their bioavailable forms in staple food crops through conventional plant breeding and modern biotechnology (Pfeiffer and McClafferty 2007; Welch and Graham 2002; White and Broadley 2005).”
Relationships Between Yield and Mineral Concentrations in Potato Tubers (2009, background): “…in populations changing from traditional diets dominated by pulses, vegetables, and fruits to diets dominated by cereals (Graham et al., 2001; Welch and Graham, 2002), whose tissue concentrations of these elements appear to be constrained by an ancient evolutionary heritage (Broadley et al.,…”
Soil and crop management strategies to prevent iron deficiency in crops (2011, background): “Within cereal crops, rice contains the lowest grain-Fe concentrations ( Welch and Graham 1999, 2002 ).”
Mineral nutrition of wheat, chickpea and lentil as affected by mixed cropping and soil moisture (2007, background): “In regions where legumes and cereals are a significant component of human diet, mineral deficiencies (especially Fe and Zn) can be prevalent (Cakmak 2002; Welch and Graham 2002).”
Relationship between yield and mineral nutrient concentrations in historical and modern spring wheat cultivars (2008, background): “The large increases in the percentage of people suVering from micronutrient malnutrition over the last four decades coincide with the global expansion of high-yielding, input-responsive cereal cultivars (Welch 2002; Welch and Graham 2002).”
Role of Macronutrients in Plant Growth and Acclimation: Recent Advances and Future Prospective (2014, background): “It has been mentioned in the reports of Welch and Graham (2002) and White and Broadley (2005a) that 6 billion population of the world (above 60”
Fortification of micronutrients for efficient agronomic production: a review (2016, background): “In addition to enhancing crop nutritional quality, micronutrients, when efficiently translocated to seeds, could enhance seed vitality that then allows for good seed emergence and vigorous seedling growth (Welch and Graham 2002; Nestel et al. 2006; Velu et al. 2014).”
Mycorrhizal responsiveness of aerobic rice genotypes is negatively correlated with their zinc uptake when nonmycorrhizal (2007, background): “In addition, Zn deficiency affects over two billion people (Welch and Graham 2002), mostly in developing countries where diets are cereal-based and low in meat, fish and vegetables.”
