Breeding for micronutrients in staple food crops from a human nutrition perspective.
TLDR
The world's agricultural community should adopt plant breeding and other genetic technologies to improve human health, and the world's nutrition and health communities should support these efforts.

Breeding for Trace Mineral Density in Rice
In 1992 the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) began to examine the effect of certain soil characteristics on the iron content of rice grains. As part of the Consultative Group for…

Selecting zinc-efficient cereal genotypes for soils of low zinc status
Deficiencies of zinc are well known in all cereals and cereal-growing countries. From physiological evidence reported elsewhere, it would appear that a critical level for zinc is required in the soil…

A critical analysis of the causes of boron toxicity in plants
TLDR
Analysis of the sensitivity to B of a range of metabolic processes including photosynthesis, respiration and protein synthesis leads to the conclusion that growth is not restricted by effects of B on energy supply and not directly by inhibition of protein synthesis.

Quantitative trait loci for phytate in rice grain and their relationship with grain micronutrient content
TLDR
In this preliminary study, quantitative trait loci for grain phytates, Zn and Fe in glasshouse-grown rice lines from an IR64 × Azucena doubled haploid population were identified and correlations between phytate and essential nutrients were studied.

Inheritance of seed iron and zinc concentrations in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
TLDR
The inheritance of seed iron and zinc accumulation in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of common beans from a cross of low × high mineral genotypes is determined using a quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping approach.
