High bioavailablilty iron maize (<it>Zea mays</it> L.) developed through molecular breeding provides more absorbable iron in vitro (<it>Caco-2</it> model) and in vivo (<it>Gallus gallus</it>)
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Iron (Fe) deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide. Iron biofortification is a preventative strategy that alleviates Fe deficiency by improving the amount of absorbable Fe in crops. In the present study, we us...
