Association Mapping of Candidate Genes Associated with Iron and Zinc Content in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.) Grains

Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), in the diet contribute to health issues and hidden hunger. Enhancing the Fe and Zn content in globally staple food crops like rice is necessary to address food malnutrition. A Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) was conducted usin...
