Micronutrient deficiency also known as "hidden hunger" refers to a condition that occurs when the body lacks essential vitamins and minerals are required in small amounts for proper growth, development overall health. These deficiencies particularly common developing countries, where lack of access varied nutritious diet makes it difficult people get micronutrients they need. supplementation has been topic interest, especially during Covid-19 pandemic, due its potential role supporting immune function Iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), iodine (I), selenium (Se) humans significant food-related issues worldwide. Biofortification is sustainable strategy developed address micronutrient by increasing levels staple crops widely consumed affected communities. There number agricultural techniques biofortification, including selective breeding have higher specific nutrients, agronomic approach using fertilizers other inputs increase nutrient uptake transgenic approach. The offers temporary but speedy solution while genetic (breeding transgenic) long-term requires time develop nutrient-rich variety.

Nutritious foods are essential for human health and development. However, malnutrition hidden hunger continue to be a challenge globally. In most developing countries, access adequate nutritious food continues challenge. Although is less prevalent in developed countries compared where iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) deficiencies common. The United Nations (UN) 2nd Sustainable Development Goal was set eradicate hunger. Hidden has led numerous cases of infant maternal mortalities, greatly impacted growth, development, cognitive ability, physical working capacity. This influenced several develop interventions that could help combat Interventions such as dietary diversification supplementation being adopted. fortification but mainly biofortification been projected the sustainable solution Plant-based (PBFs) form greater proportion diets certain populations; hence, PBFs relevant combating Agronomic biofortification, plant breeding, transgenic approaches some currently used strategies crops. Crops cereals, legumes, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits have biofortified through all these three strategies. approach sustainable, efficient, rapid, making it suitable programs. Omics technology also introduced improve efficiency approach.

Cereals and pulses are consumed as a staple food in low-income countries for the fulfillment of daily dietary requirements source micronutrients. However, they failing to offer balanced nutrition due deficiencies some essential compounds, macronutrients, micronutrients, i.e., cereals deficient iron, zinc, amino acids, quality proteins. Meanwhile, rich anti-nutrient compounds that restrict bioavailability As result, population is suffering from malnutrition resultantly different diseases, anemia, beriberi, pellagra, night blindness, rickets, scurvy common society. These facts highlight need biofortification provision diets masses reduction malnutrition. Biofortification crops may be achieved through conventional approaches or new breeding techniques (NBTs). Conventional cover mineral fertilization foliar soil application, microbe-mediated enhanced uptake nutrients, crossing plants obtain desired combination genes nutrient bioavailability. Whereas, NBTs rely on gene silencing, editing, overexpression, transfer other species acquisition nutritional profiles mutant plants. Thus, we have highlighted significance pulses. Current future perspectives opportunities also discussed. Further, regulatory aspects newly developed biofortified transgenic and/or non-transgenic crop varieties via presented.

Abstract Globally, about 20% of calories (energy) come from wheat. In some countries, it is more than 70%. More 2 billion people are at risk for zinc deficiency and even more, iron deficiency, nearly a quarter all children underage group 5 physically cognitively stunted, lack dietary major contributing factor. Biofortified wheat with elevated levels has several potential advantages as delivery vehicle micronutrients in the diets resource-poor consumers who depend on cereal-based diets. The conventional breeding strategies have been successful introduction novel alleles grain Zn Fe that led to release competitive enriched varieties South Asia. challenge over next few decades will be maintain rates genetic gains yield along increased Zn/Fe concentration meet food nutritional security challenges. Therefore, remain competitive, performance Zn-enhanced lines/varieties must equal or superior current non-biofortified elite lines/varieties. Since both content invisible quantitatively inherited traits except intermediate effect QTL regions identified Zn, efforts new approaches required combine them high frequency, ensuring steadily across pipelines. review article provides comprehensive list genomic enhancing concentrations including key candidate gene families such NAS, ZIP, VLT, ZIFL , YSL . Implementing forward by taking advantage rapid cycling trait pipeline would simultaneously introgress into normal lines, further increasing concentrations.

Among the field crops, wheat is regarded as one of most paramount cereal crops because it widely grown, consumed food across world, and also known staple for nearly 35 per cent world population. However, threatened by spot blotch disease causing considerable yield loss, with existing genotypes lacking resistance necessary nutrients. Cytokinins (CKs) are key phytohormones that not only regulate plant growth/development but play an important role during stress in nutrient metabolic pathway crop plants. Deficiency nutrients like zinc, iron, vitamin A causes irreparable damage to body, pressing need increase accumulation such micronutrients edible parts plant. Crop bio-fortification emerging approaches through which quantities these could be increased advisable amount. Cytokinin observed have a pivotal managing environmental stress/climate change defense systems plants, apart from this, found has impact over Zn crops. Manipulation cytokine dehydrogenase (CKX) enzyme degrades cytokinin affect yield, root growth, Several instances revealed increment contents Zn, S, Fe, Mn seeds cereals reflection increasing activity CKX resulting enhancement system helps absorption water drought prone area beneficial scavenging deeper ends soil. Exploring lithosphere via uptake transporting them vascular sink therefore, identification incorporation CKs/CKX linked gene(s) into targeted exploring approach including CRISPR-Cas9 conventional molecular breeding job improving traits management order enhance productivity, nutritional value would useful mankind.
