Grain micronutrient evaluation of wheat (Triticum aestivum) germplasm and molecular characterisation via genic and random SSR markers
Mohd. Tahir,Safoora Shafi,Mohd Anwar Khan,F. A. Sheikh,Mohd Ashraf Bhat,Parvaze A. Sofi,Satish Kumar,Mohd. Altaf Wani,Reyazul Rouf Mir +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of 63 advanced breeding lines of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for grain iron (GFe) and grain zinc (GZn) concentrations, and to characterise the germplasm set via simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers (both genic and random).

Use Database to Evaluate the Prevalence of Hunger Among Adolescents in Brazil
Ana Laura Benevenuto de Amorim,José Raimundo Sousa Ribeiro Junior,Hélida Ventura Barbosa Gonçalves,Daniel Henrique Bandoni +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the relationship between reports of hunger among adolescents and its sociodemographic characteristics using data from the 2015 National School Health Survey (PeNSE) and found that there is a positive association between adolescents reported having gone hungry and sex, race, live in households with more than five people, those who do not live with their father, and those who have plans to work or do not know what they will do after finishing ninth grade.

Breeding Cowpea: A Nutraceutical Option for Future Global Food and Nutritional Security
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the nutritive value of cowpea with more emphasis on the remarkable nutraceutical properties of the crop and suggested taking cow pea forward as a future smart crop for tackling global food and nutritional security.

Next-generation DNA sequencing.
Jay Shendure,Hanlee P. Ji +1 more
TL;DR: Next-generation DNA sequencing has the potential to dramatically accelerate biological and biomedical research, by enabling the comprehensive analysis of genomes, transcriptomes and interactomes to become inexpensive, routine and widespread, rather than requiring significant production-scale efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofortification of crops with seven mineral elements often lacking in human diets--iron, zinc, copper, calcium, magnesium, selenium and iodine.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review aspects of soil science, plant physiology and genetics underpinning crop bio-fortification strategies, as well as agronomic and genetic approaches currently taken to biofortify food crops with the mineral elements most commonly lacking in human diets: iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iodine (I) and selenium (Se).
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding for micronutrients in staple food crops from a human nutrition perspective
Ross M. Welch,Robin D. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: The world's agricultural community should adopt plant breeding and other genetic technologies to improve human health, and the world's nutrition and health communities should support these efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated genomics, physiology and breeding approaches for improving drought tolerance in crops.
Reyazul Rouf Mir,Reyazul Rouf Mir,Mainassara Zaman-Allah,Nese Sreenivasulu,Richard Trethowan,Rajeev K. Varshney,Rajeev K. Varshney,Rajeev K. Varshney +7 more
TL;DR: The most recent advances in plant physiology for precision phenotyping of drought response are discussed, a vital step before implementing the genetic and molecular-physiological strategies to unravel the complex multilayered drought tolerance mechanism and further exploration using molecular breeding approaches for crop improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Challenge of Feeding the World
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review about the current challenges related to food security and hidden hunger and present issues according to major factors, such as growing population, changing dietary habits, water efficiency, climate change and volatile food prices.
