Biofortification of Grain and Vegetable Crops
Molecular and Breeding Approaches
About this book
Biofortification of Grain and Vegetable Crops: Molecular and Breeding Approaches is a comprehensive overview of important food crops whose vitamin and mineral enhancement can contribute significantly to improved food and nutrition security. Providing the latest information on crops including cereals, oilseeds, legumes and vegetables, this book provides details of agronomic and molecular resources for enhanced mineral production. Each chapter focuses on a specific food crop and the unique opportunities offered by each through breeding practices. This will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics and those in industry who are exploring biotechnological approaches as a powerful tool to combat malnutrition.
- Presents the potential of a variety of food crops for increased bioavailability of micronutrients
- Enhances our understanding of agronomic and molecular mechanisms of biofortification
- Provides insights to mitigate hidden hunger
