Biofortified rice program of the Alliance Bioversity and CIAT: Progress and perspectives by Sandoval, Leydi, Bartholomé, Jerome, Borrero, Jaime, Grenier, Cecile

“…Subsequently, around 2013, another phase started, during which the zinc content of over 2,000 accessions from the germplasm bank was analyzed. Once the best genotypes were identified, advanced biofortified lines were developed through crossings and selection schemes, which were evaluated in multi-environment trials.Thanks to the collaboration of entities such as CIRAD, HarvestPlus, and INIAS from different countries, four varieties have been released in Latin America. …”
