Iron 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 کاملRice Enrichment by Genetic Engineering for Combating Iron and Zinc Deficiency
Iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency are among the most recognized forms of micronutrient malnutrition and about two billion of people around the world suffer from it. Monotonous diets based on staple cereals are in fact a poor source of iron and zinc. Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world's population. Various methods have been proposed for food enrichment, but many of t...
متن کاملExamining strategies to facilitate vitamin B1 biofortification of plants by genetic engineering
Thiamin (vitamin B1) is made by plants and microorganisms but is an essential micronutrient in the human diet. All organisms require it as a cofactor in its form as thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) for the activity of key enzymes of central metabolism. In humans, deficiency is widespread particularly in populations where polished rice is a major component of the diet. Considerable progress has been ...
