Iron Biofortification of Myanmar Rice [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 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.

Selenium biofortification in the 21st century: status and challenges for healthy human nutrition
Plant and Soil, 2020 Selenium (Se) is an essential element for mammals and its deficiency in the diet is a global problem. Plants accumulate Se and thus represent a major source of Se to consumers. Agronomic biofortification intends to enrich crops with Se in order to secure

Biofortification of Cereals With Foliar Selenium and Iodine Could Reduce Hypothyroidism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Concurrent selenium and iodine deficiencies are widespread, in both developing and developed countries. Salt iodisation is insufficient to ensure global iodine adequacy, with an estimated one-third of humanity at risk of hypothyroidism and associated ...
