Review: The potential of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) as a vehicle for iron biofortification
Common beans are a staple food and the major source of iron for populations in Eastern Africa and Latin America. Bean iron concentration is high and can be further increased by biofortification. A major constraint to bean iron biofortification is low iron absorption, attributed to inhibitory compoun...
