A two-gene strategy increases iron and zinc concentrations in wheat flour, improving mineral bioaccessibility by Harrington, Sophie A., Connorton, James M., Nyangoma, Natasha I. M., McNelly, Rose, Morgan, Yvie M. L., Aslam, Mohamad F., Sharp, Paul A., Johnson, Alexander A. T., Uauy, Cristobal, Balk, Janneke

“…Conventional breeding approaches to increase grain mineral concentrations in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) have had only limited success, and our understanding of the genetic and physiological barriers to altering this trait is incomplete. Here we demonstrate that a transgenic approach combining endosperm-specific expression of the wheat VACUOLAR IRON TRANSPORTER gene TaVIT2-D with constitutive expression of the rice (Oryza sativa) NICOTIANAMINE SYNTHASE gene OsNAS2 significantly increases the total concentration of zinc and relocates iron to white-flour fractions. …”
