BIO-FORTIFICATION OF ZINC

Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious health concern resulting due to deficiency of minerals such as iron and zinc in dietary intake. Genetic enhancement of crops with higher mineral content i.e. bio-fortification is one of the most cost effective method to solve the global mineral malnutrition pr[r]

fabricated narrow trenches in poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) photoresist and gold layers. The AFM tip oper-ating in tapping mode was used to shave away the soft golddeposited on a hard substrate leading to feature widths ofapproximately 50 nm.

Zinc deficiency which leads to “Khaira” disease is the major micronutrient problem in rice. It can be corrected by applying zinc supplements to the soil or plant which will put burden on resource poor farmers. Present investigation was taken to map QTLs for zinc deficiency tolerance to zinc deficien[r]

The present investigation was carried out to standardize the plant bio regulators for in vitro shoot proliferation of Curcuma longa L. Cv. Roma. The finger tip of the C. longa was taken as explants and cultured on MS media supplemented with different concentrations of plant bio-regulators.
