• Effect of foliar application of Zn and Fe on wheat yield and quality (2009, unknown): “In a comprehensive study, Hotz and Brown (2004) reported that Zn deficiency affects, on average, one-third of world’s population, ranging from 4 to 73% in different countries.”
• 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).”
• 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).”
• Enrichment of cereal grains with zinc: Agronomic or genetic biofortification? (2007, background): “Zinc deficiency is responsible for many severe health complications, including impairments of physical growth, immune system and learning ability, combined with increased risk of infections, DNA damage and cancer development (Hotz and Brown 2004; Gibson 2006; Prasad 2007).”
• Guidelines on food fortification with micronutrients (2006, background): “The geographical regions most affected are believed to be, in descending order of severity, south Asia (in particular, Bangladesh and India), Africa and the western Pacific (109).”
• Grain zinc, iron and protein concentrations and zinc-efficiency in wild emmer wheat under contrasting irrigation regimes (2008, background): “…particularly deficiency in Zn and Fe, afflicts over three billion people worldwide (Welch and Graham 2004; Bouis 2007), resulting in overall poor health, anemia, increased morbidity and mortality rates, and lower worker productivity (Cakmak et al. 2002; Demment et al. 2003; Hotz and Brown 2004).”
• Agronomic biofortification of cereals with zinc: a review (2018, background): “…dietary allowance (RDA) for Zn suggested by the International Zinc Nutrition Consultative Group (IZiNCG) varies between 9 and 19 mg per day for adults who consume an unrefined, cereal-based diet, depending on gender and special conditions such as pregnancy and lactation (Brown et al., 2004).”
• Triticum dicoccoides: An important genetic resource for increasing zinc and iron concentration in modern cultivated wheat (2004, background): “Iron and Zn deficiencies cause severe health complications including impairments in the immune system, physical growth, mental and cognitive development, and increases in anemia, morbidity, and mortality (Black 2003; Boccio and Iyenger 2003; Hotz and Brown 2004).”
