Title

BIOFORTIFICATION OF VARIOUS VEGETABLE CROPS – A REVIEW

Abstract

Around 800 million people are hungry, but many more are suffering from micronutrient malnutrition, also known as "hidden hunger," especially in developing countries. Malnutrition of iodine, vitamin A, iron, and zinc is a major concern. Mineral (Fe, Zn) and vitamin A malnutrition is a major food-related primary health problem among populations in the developing world, including India, where cereal-based diets are common and access to fruits and vegetables is limited. Biofortification of vegetables with vitamins and micronutrients is the current need of the hour for developing countries to combat various health issues. Three main techniques are used for biofortification of vegetable and other staple crops: traditional breeding, agronomic approach, and genetic engineering. These methods have a lot of promise in terms of addressing vitamin and micronutrient deficiency. Several studies have recently surfaced about the production of transgenic crops to boost provitamin A levels in crops such as tomato, potato, sweet potato, beans, and other vegetable crops.

Key Words
