QTL mapping for grain zinc and iron concentrations and zinc efficiency in a tetraploid and hexaploid wheat mapping populations (2017, background): “It is estimated that up to one-third of the population in developing countries are at risk of Zn deficiency (Holtz and Brown 2004; Nube and Voortman 2011).”
Zinc nutrition in wheat-based cropping systems (2017, background): “In regions with Zn-deficient soils (e.g., Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and India), the incidence of Zn deficiency in humans is also high (Cakmak et al. 1999; Hotz and Brown 2004).”
Pseudomonas-aided zinc application improves the productivity and biofortification of bread wheat (2018, background): “Zinc (Zn) isvital for all life forms, and its deficiencyaffects~33% of the world’s population (Hotz and Brown 2004).”
Mechanism of Zinc absorption in plants: uptake, transport, translocation and accumulation (2016, background): “The other health issues due to marginal intakes of Zn are: decline in immunity with increased risk of infections, DNA damage and cancer development (Hotz and Brown 2004; Gibson 2006; Prasad 2007).”
