Biofortification represents a promising and sustainable strategy for mitigating global nutrient deficiencies. However, its successful implementation poses significant challenges. Among staple crops, wheat emerges as prime candidate to address these nutritional gaps. Wheat biofortification offers robust approach enhance cultivars by elevating the micronutrient levels in grains, addressing one of most crucial concerns present era.

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.

Calcareous soil poses challenges for crop production due to the limited availability of micronutrients in insoluble forms. This study evaluated various organic and biological treatments managing deficiencies iron, zinc, manganese artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) grown calcareous over two seasons (2023 2024). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was employed, with 24 plots (5 × 8 m2 each) receiving following five treatments: mineral fertilizer, humic substances, ALCRI-anti chlorosis, ALCRI-vermicompost, ALCRI-bio-help. Each treatment replicated three times. In 2023 season, significant increases micronutrient levels were observed application treatments, particularly ALCRI-vermicompost substances. Compared control group, iron content (Fe2+) increased by 57.1%, reaching 715.6%. Zinc (Zn2+) rose 66.1% 686.4%, while (Mn2+) copper (Cu2+) 56.9% 685.2% 44.9% 673.4%, respectively. These positive trends continued into 2024 Fe2+ showing even greater gains 103.4%, peaking at 824.0% treated Zn2+ Mn2+ displayed more modest 36.9% 58.0%, Cu2+ exhibited a remarkable rise 50.7%, 861.2%, chlorosis treatments. The results indicate that vermicompost alone or combination significantly enhanced structure, as confirmed SEM examination, which revealed porosity improved aggregation. consistent improvements strongly support effectiveness enriching essential micronutrients.

The concentration of mineral nutrients in plants is associated with bioavailabilities soil nutrients, which are regulated by various physio-chemical properties. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects type on grain and straw zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) selenium (Se) concentrations wheat/Amblyopyrum muticum wheat/Triticum urartu doubled haploid lines. set 42 treatments a factorial combination 21 genotypes two types collected from Ngabu Chitedze Research Stations Malawi laid randomised complete block design (RCBD) three replicates.

Rice lacks sufficient amounts of zinc despite its vitality for human health. Leaf senescence enables redistribution nutrients to other organs, yet Zn retransfer during deficiency is often overlooked. In this hydroponic experiment, we studied the effect on rice seedlings, focusing fourth leaf under control and deficient conditions. Growth phenotype analysis showed that growth nodal roots was inhibited in deficiency, exhibited accelerated increased ion transfer. Analyzing differentially expressed genes regulates more ZIP family involved retransfer. OsZIP3 upregulation Zn-deficient conditions may not be induced by whereas OsZIP4 only deficiency. Gene ontology enrichment leaves mobilized biological pathways (BPs) aging, function differed from normal aging leaves. The most apparent "zinc transport" BP stronger than senescence, possibly due mobilizing large related lipid metabolism senescence. These results provide a basis further functional analyses study trace element transfer
