DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1123655
Abstract: Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious threat to the developing world’s human population, which largely relies on a cereal-based diet that lacks diversity and micronutrients. Besides major cereals, millets represent the key sources of energy, protein,… read more here.
