The diets of over two‐thirds of the world's population lack one or more essential mineral
elements. This can be remedied through dietary diversification, mineral supplementation …

Zinc deficiency is a well-documented problem in food crops, causing decreased crop yields
and nutritional quality. Generally, the regions in the world with Zn-deficient soils are also …

Key message A review of the available literature on genetics of yield and its component
traits, tolerance to abiotic stresses and biofortification should prove useful for future research …

Key message Knowledge of genetic variation, genetics, physiology/molecular basis and
breeding (including biotechnological approaches) for biofortification and bioavailability for …

Dietary micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) are widespread, yet their prevalence can be
difficult to assess. Here, we estimate MND risks due to inadequate intakes for seven …

Micronutrient deficiency, also known as “hidden hunger,” is an increasingly serious global
challenge to humankind. Among the mineral elements, Fe (Iron) and Zn (Zinc) have earned …

Iron and zinc are 2 important nutrients in the human diet. Their deficiencies in humans lead
to a variety of health‐related problems. Iron and zinc biofortification of cereals is considered …

Mineral deficiencies are prevalent in human populations and the improvement of the mineral
content in cereal products represents a possible strategy to increase the human mineral …

Micronutrient deficiencies are responsible for so-called 'hidden undernutrition'. In particular,
iron (Fe) deficiency adversely affects growth, immune function and can cause anaemia …
