Potential Impact of Large‐Scale Food Fortification in Ethiopia: Coverage and Knowledge of Fortifiable Foods

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Coverage of fortifiable oil, salt, and wheat flour by wealth quintiles. ABSTRACT Large‐scale food fortification (LSFF) is an effective public health measure because it may reach a large number of populations at risk using current food delivery systems.

Multiplying the efficiency and impact of biofortification through metabolic engineering

Nature Communications, 2020
Biofortification is an effective means to reduce micronutrient malnutrition. Here, the authors review recent advances in biofortification and propose stacking multiple micronutrient traits into high-yielding varieties through the combination of ...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as a Source of Essential Fatty Acids – A Biofortification Approach

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Chickpea is a highly nutritious pulse crop with low digestible carbohydrates (40–60%), protein (15–22%), essential fats (4–8%), and a range of minerals and vitamins. The fatty acid composition of the seed adds value because fats govern the texture, shelf-

Natural and CRISPR/Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...

Genetic Analysis of East African Sorghum Genotypes for Yield Components and Iron and Zinc Composition

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysis of selected East African‐adapted ...
