Economics of biofortification (2007, positive): “For orange-fleshed sweetpotatoes, beta-carotene retention after boiling is around 80% (Nestel et al., 2006), but losses can be much higher with inappropriate storage and cooking techniques.”
Sustainable intensification in African agriculture (2011, background): “Orangefleshed sweet potato is a good source of vitamin A, with some lines containing .200 mg g21 b-carotene (Nestel et al., 2006; Zhao and Shewry, in press).”
Iron and zinc biofortification strategies in dicot plants by intercropping with gramineous species. A review (2011, background): “Biofortification of iron and zinc content and availability in plant foods could be an economical solution to this problem (Nestel et al., 2006; Yan et al., 2006).”
Genetic mapping of the rice ionome in leaves and grain: identification of QTLs for 17 elements including arsenic, cadmium, iron and selenium (2010, background): “In this regard, increasing grain vitamin A, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are considered the highest priorities (Nestel et al. 2006).”
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine. (2009, background): “To determine whether biofortification strategies can address mineral malnutrition of humans, decision-makers have posed six key questions (Bouis, 2000; Bouis et al., 2000; Nestel et al., 2006).”
Winter Wheat Grain Quality, Zinc and Iron Concentration Affected by a Combined Foliar Spray of Zinc and Iron Fertilizers (2019, background): “Moreover, research is taking place to increase genetically the Fe in rice grain endosperm from the aleurone layer, which is removed when producing polished rice [25].”
A meta-analysis of community-based studies on quality protein maize (2010, background): “One approach to solving nutritional problems is to improve the nutritional quality of food crops (Johns and Eyzaguirre, 2007; Nestel et al., 2006; White and Broadley, 2005).”
Biofortification of wheat through inoculation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and cyanobacteria (2012, background): “Mineral packed seeds can have a tremendous spin-off for increasing farm productivity in developing countries in an environment friendly way, as such seedlings also exhibit an increased survival capacity and resistance to disease and other environmental stresses [27].”
Plant nutrition for sustainable development and global health. (2010, background): “…mineral elements (Eticha et al., 2010; Führs et al., 2010; Kobayashi et al., 2010; Miwa and Fujiwara, 2010), fertilizer use efficiencies in crops (Masclaux-Daubresse et al., 2010; White et al., 2010) and the biofortification of edible portions with essential mineral elements (Ding et al., 2010).”
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).”
Biofortification: Progress toward a more nourishing future (2013, background): “the dimensions of which are and cost-effective way (Bouis, 1999; Nestel et al., 2006; Pfeiffer and McClafferty, 2007; Qaim et al., 2007; Meenakshi et al., 2010).”
Genetic diversity of folate profiles in seeds of common bean, lentil, chickpea and pea (2015, background): “In addition, recurrent costs are low and germplasm can be shared internationally without having adverse effect on agronomic productivity (Nestel et al., 2006; Bouis et al., 2011).”
