Zhang, X.Pfeiffer, Wolfgang H.Palacios-Rojas, NBabu, R.Bouis, Howarth E.Wang, J.[Probability of success of breeding strategies for improving pro-vitamin A content in maize]Probability of success of breeding strategies for improving pro-vitamin A content in maize

Over the past 15 years, biofortification, the process of breeding nutrients into food crops, has gained ample recognition as a cost-effective, complementary, feasible means of delivering micronutrients to populations that may have limited access to diverse diets, supplements, or commercially fort...


Andersson, Meike S.Saltzman, AmyVirk, Parminder SinghPfeiffer, Wolfgang H.[Progress update: Crop development of biofortified staple food crops under Harvestplus]Progress update: Crop development of biofortified staple food crops under Harvestplus

Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural trategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] have been release...

Cakmak, IPfeiffer, Wolfgang H.McClafferty, Bonnie F.[Biofortification of durum wheat with zinc and iron]Biofortification of durum wheat with zinc and iron

Micronutrient malnutrition, the so-called hidden hunger, affects more than one-half of the world's population, especially women and preschool children in developing countries. Despite past progress in controlling micronutrient decencies through supplementation and food fortification, new approach...


Pfeiffer, Wolfgang H.McClafferty, Bonnie F.[Harvestplus : Breeding crops for better nutrition]Harvestplus : Breeding crops for better nutrition

The effect of major dwarfing genes, Rht-B1 and Rht-D1, in bread (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) wheats varies with environment. Six reduced-height near-isogenic spring wheat lines, included in the International Adaptation Trial (IAT), were grown in 81 trials aro...

The International Adaptation Trial (IAT) is a special purpose nursery designed to investigate the genotype-by-environment interactions and worldwide adaptation for grain yield of Australian and CIMMYT spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (T. turgidum L. var. durum). The IAT c...

Micronutrient malnutrition affects more than half of the world population, particularly in developing countries. Concerted international and national fortification and supplementation efforts to curb the scourge of micronutrient malnutrition are showing a positive impact, alas without reaching th...

Malnutrition is one of the biggest public health challenges of the century with about 2 billion people affected by it globally. Biofortification is the process of breeding micronutrients traits into staple food crops, which is bioavailable to make a positive measurable impact to the population th...
