Thiamin biofortification of crops [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2017 Thiamin is essential for human health. While plants are the ultimate source of thiamin in most human diets, staple foods like white rice have low thiamin content. Therefore, populations whose diets are mainly based on low-thiamin staple crops suffer from thiamin deficiency.
