Integrating genetic and agronomic fortification improves zinc, iron, and protein concentrations in rice grain: A meta-analysis

Rice, consumed by half of the world’s population, is inherently low in zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and protein. We compiled data from 245 studies across 34 countries to evaluate the impact of genetic, agronomic, and processing interventions on rice grain Zn, Fe, and protein concentrations. Zn-biofortified cultivars had 9.8%...
