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 …

Over the past 15 years, biofortification, the process of breeding nutrients into food crops, has
gained ample recognition as a cost-effective, complementary, feasible means of delivering …

Current trends in population growth and consumption patterns continue to increase the
demand for wheat, a key cereal for global food security. Further, multiple abiotic challenges …

Plant nutrition is an important aspect that contributes significantly to sustainable agriculture,
whereas minerals enrichment in edible source implies global human health; hence, both …

Genetic biofortification is recognized as a cost-effective and sustainable strategy to reduce
micronutrient malnutrition. Genomic regions governing grain iron concentration (GFeC) …

Wheat is an important staple that acts as a primary source of dietary energy, protein, and
essential micronutrients such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) for the world's population …

Abstract Globally, about 20% of calories (energy) come from wheat. In some countries, it is
more than 70%. More than 2 billion people are at risk for zinc deficiency and even more …

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 …

Biofortification breeding for three important micronutrients for human health, namely, iron
(Fe), zinc (Zn), and provitamin A (PVA), has gained momentum in recent years. HarvestPlus …
