Stability of grain zinc concentrations across lowland rice environments favors zinc biofortification breeding

Stability of grain zinc concentrations across lowland rice environments favors zinc biofortification breeding

IntroductionOne-third of the human population consumes insufficient zinc (Zn) to sustain a healthy life. Zn deficiency can be relieved by increasing the Zn concentration ([Zn]) in staple food crops through biofortification breeding. Rice is a poor source of Zn, and in countries predominantly relying...
