Fortification of micronutrients for efficient agronomic production: a review (2016, background): “In addition, the complex multigenetic steps involved in moving nutrients from the soil to the grains or edible leaves would have to be surmounted, to actually arrive at crops with enhanced micronutrient uptake and tissue transport ability (Waters and Sankaran 2011; Velu et al. 2014).”
Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015, background): “…nutrient-rich staple crops through exploitation of existing genotypic variation including in wild relatives, setting target Zn concentrations of 38, 28 and 38 mg kg−1 DW in whole maize grain, polished rice grain and whole wheat grain, respectively (Bouis and Welch 2010; Velu et al. 2014).”
Zinc biofortification in rice: leveraging agriculture to moderate hidden hunger in developing countries (2018, background): “ments to individuals in the rural areas (Velu et al. 2014).”
Beneficial role of endophytes in biofortification of Zn in wheat genotypes varying in nutrient use efficiency grown in soils sufficient and deficient in Zn (2017, background): “Another strategy is to utilize the genotypic variations among the cultivars and select and breed for the ones with high micronutrient use efficiency (Rengel 2001; Velu et al. 2014).”
The Role of Nanotechnology in the Fortification of Plant Nutrients and Improvement of Crop Production (2019, background): “In addition, available micronutrient in the soil limits the effectiveness of new genotypes in increasing micronutrient content [39,40].”
Zinc nutrition in wheat-based cropping systems (2017, background): “The concentration of Zn can be enhanced in wheat by using agronomic or breeding/ molecular approaches to develop microelement-dense wheat genotypes (White and Broadley 2011; Velu et al. 2014).”
