La biofortificación es considerada, en muchos países del mundo y de América Latina, como una estrategia complementaria para la prevención y control de las deficiencias de micronutrientes. Cultivos biofortificados como el arroz y el maíz tienen contenidos más altos de zinc (Zn) y de proteína de al...

Background
Large genome-wide association (GWA) studies of European ancestry individuals have identified multiple genetic variants influencing iron status. Studies on the generalizability of these associations to African ancestry populations have been limited. These studies are important given int...

Associations between common variants in iron-related genes with haematological traits in populations of African ancestry
Among Plant Genetic Resources for Agriculture, landraces are excellent genetic materials for developing new varieties. Due to their genetic diversity, these populations have maintained potentially useful alleles for increasing valuable traits in crops. A diet mostly relying on pulses as source of...

Screening common bean (P. vulgaris L.) germplasm for Fe and Zn biofortication
La bioforti¬cación es una estrategia que utiliza el ¬tomejoramiento convencional de cultivos básicos para incrementar el contenido de nutrientes y mejorar sus características agronómicas. Es un complemento importante de otras intervenciones como la suplementación con micronutrientes y la forti¬ca...
Iron and zinc deficiencies are global health problems, affecting mostly pregnant women and young children. In 2016, biofortified iron and zinc beans were introduced in Colombia. The incorporation of biofortified beans into the national school‐feeding program could facilitate adoption and potentia...
