Breeding and deploying high-zinc maize in the tropics
High-zinc maize offers a promising solution to alleviate this micronutrient malnutrition, particularly in the Global South. Maize, as a C4 crop, shows potential in addressing declining zinc levels in the face of environmental stressors, but achieving optimal zinc concentrations in maize kernels requ...
