Genetic diversity for grain Zn concentration in finger millet genotypes: Potential for improving human Zn nutrition

Genetic diversity for grain Zn concentration in finger millet genotypes: Potential for improving human Zn nutrition

Nearly half of the world population suffers from micronutrient malnutrition, particularly Zn deficiency. It is important to understand genetic variation for uptake and translocation behaviors of Zn in relevant crop species to increase Zn concentration in edible parts. In the present study, genetic v...
