Zinc and Iron are essential micronutrient for both plant growth and human health but it is often reported to be deficient in regions where rice is use as staple food. Although significant progresses are made in understanding genetic and molecular mechanism of micronutrient acquisition but these need to be characterize to increase the bioavailability of these micronutrients. Biofortification is suggested to be a sustainable and costeffective approach in this perspective and for that combination of various agronomic and genetic strategies should be put in place without delay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
