Andean potato cultivars (Solanum tuberosum Group Andigena) represent a valuable source of genetic diversity of cultivated potato. Unraveling molecular mechanisms effecting iron and zinc accumulation in this gene pool would have tremendous potential to provide a means to help alleviate the prevale...

This study evaluates the treatment effect of adoption of biofortified iron beans in Rwanda on household yields, bean consumption from own-production and purchases, bean sales, and the probability of being a net seller of beans. Because the adoption decision could be endo...

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...

The physiological characteristics of Kenana and Butana dairy cows are investigated. The blood picture and certain biochemical indices in 153 Kenana dairy cows as well as physio-chemical characteristics on the blood of 88 lactating and pregnant Butana cows were examined. Significant differences we...

Though cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a staple for many poor people in Africa, it has major nutritional disadvantages. The tuberous root has very low levels of essential nutrients. Consequently, malnutrition is widespread among the people who depend on as a staple in their diet. Breeding c...

Iron deficiency anaemia is still a major nutritional problem in the world, affecting primarily infants, children, and fertile women in both developing and developed countries (UNICEF, 2006). Breast-fed infants generally have adequate iron status during the first 4-6 mo of life, after which stored...
