Abstract
Rice (Oryza sativa L.), which is mostly consumed by individuals from various areas of Asia, is fed to more than half of the world's population. In rice, the transfer of micronutrients from the soil to the shoot and from the root to the shoot is regulated at several phases, including seed germination. Some of the effective efforts performed by numerous scientists to enhance the amount of micronutrients in rice include the use of phytose, ferritin protein storage by Fe, and increasing the content of genes encoding metal chelators (mostly phytosiderophores) and metal transporters. We are here for the article on rice biofortification to share the advances made in the goal of enriching rice with various micronutrient components such as Fe, Zn, and Mn as well as to lessen the widespread micronutrient insufficiency in humans.
