Nano-Biofortification of Food Crops: A Critical Review of Mechanisms, Efficacy, Biosafety and Barriers to Field-scale Application

Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly of zinc, iron and selenium, remain widespread in populations that depend on cereal-based diets, and agronomic biofortification is one of several strategies used to raise micronutrient concentrations in edible crop tissues. Engineered nanomaterials have been proposed as a means o...
