Biofortification and phytoremediation.
Producing nutritious and safe foods sufficiently and sustainably is the ultimate goal of modern agriculture. Past efforts have focused on increasing crop yields, but enhancing the concentrations of mineral micronutrients has become an urgent task because about half of the world population suffers from the malnutrition of iron, zinc, and selenium. Biofortification of these trace elements can be ...
متن کاملMicrobial-enhanced Selenium and Iron Biofortification of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)--Applications in Phytoremediation and Biofortification.
Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for humans and other mammals. Most dietary Se is derived from crops. To develop a Se biofortification strategy for wheat, the effect of selenate fertilization and bacterial inoculation on Se uptake and plant growth was investigated. YAM2, a bacterium with 99% similarity to Bacillus pichinotyi, showed many plant growth promoting characteristics. Inocul...
متن کاملIron Biofortification of Myanmar Rice
Iron (Fe) deficiency elevates human mortality rates, especially in developing countries. In Myanmar, the prevalence of Fe-deficient anemia in children and pregnant women are 75 and 71%, respectively. Myanmar people have one of the highest per capita rice consumption rates globally. Consequently, production of Fe-biofortified rice would likely contribute to solving the Fe-deficiency problem in t...
متن کاملBiofortification, crop adoption and health information: - Impact pathways in Mozambique and Uganda
Biofortification, breeding staple food crops to be a dense source of essential micronutrients, is fast emerging as a strategy to fight micronutrient malnutrition. Large scale investments in biofortification are being made in dozens of developing countries, but until now there has been little rigorous evidence of the impact of these investments and the strategies that can make biofortification s...
متن کاملBiofortification of Food with Microelements
Problem statement: Recently a particular attention was paid to the issue of microelement hunger, also termed hidden hunger. The problem was of global significance, since was related with the public health and concerns over 2 billion people. Approach: The study discusses the state of the art in the research on food biofortification as the sustainable solution to cope with micronutrient deficienc...
