Abstract Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the major causes human disorders in developing world. Iron (Fe) an important micronutrient due to its use metabolism such as immune system and energy production. Estimates indicate that above 30% global population at risk Fe deficiency, posing a particular threat infants pregnant women. Plants have adapted various strategies for uptake, transport, accumulation, storage tissues organs which later can be consumed by humans. Biofortification refers increase concentration edible parts plants understanding pathways accumulation plants. Conventional plant breeding, transgenics, agronomic interventions, microbe‐mediated biofortification are all potential methods address deficiency. This review article critically evaluates key aspects pertaining cereal crops. It encompasses in‐depth analysis holistic presence Fe, significance both contexts, diverse employed destined consumption. Additionally, explores bioavailability investigates biofortification, with specific emphasis on traditional recent breakthroughs aimed enhancing content food Keeping view life, appropriate may serve better eliminate hidden hunger rather than artificial supplementation.

Micronutrient deficiency (hidden hunger) is one of the serious health problems globally, often due to diets dominated by staple foods. Genetic biofortification a like wheat has surfaced as promising, cost-efficient, and sustainable strategy. Significant genetic diversity exists in its wild relatives, but nutritional profile commercial varieties inadvertently declined over time, striving for better yield disease resistance. Substantial efforts have been made biofortify using conventional molecular breeding. QTL genome-wide association studies were conducted, some identified QTLs/marker-trait (MTAs) grain micronutrients Fe exploited MAS. The mechanisms micronutrient uptake, transport, storage also investigated. Although biofortified are now commercially cultivated selected regions worldwide, further improvements needed. This review provides an overview biofortification, covering breeding efforts, evaluation methods, nutrient assimilation bioavailability, microbial involvement enrichment. Emerging technologies such non-destructive hyperspectral imaging (HSI)/red, green, blue (RGB) phenotyping; multi-omics integration; CRISPR-Cas9 alongside genomic selection; genetics hold promise advancing biofortification.

Wild and cultivated relatives of wheat are an important source genetic factors for improving the mineral composition wheat. In this work, a panel consisting modern bread varieties, landraces, introgression lines with material species Triticum timopheevii, T. durum, dicoccum, dicoccoides synthetic line kiharae was used to identify loci associated grain zinc (GZnC) iron (GFeC) content. Using BLINK model, we identified 31 73 marker–trait associations (MTAs) GZnC GFeC, respectively, which 19 were novel. Twelve MTAs distributed on chromosomes 1B, 2A, 2B, 5A, 5B significantly GZnC, five 5D two SNPs located 2A 2B related concentration both trace elements. Meanwhile, most these inherited from At G genomes timopheevii positively affected GFeC. Eight genes or transporters, representing diverse gene families, proposed as best candidates. Our findings provide understanding basis Zn Fe accumulation in Timopheevi group could help selecting new genotypes containing valuable loci.
