Description Micronutrient deficiency is a serious and underestimated global health concern.
Identifying existing micronutritional richness in traditional crops, and breeding this
potential into staple crops that are more frequently consumed, could offer a potential
low-cost, sustainable solution to micronutrient deficiency. Here, we provide the first
insight into genetic control of grain micronutrient content in the staple food crop
finger millet ( Eleusine coracana ). Quantifying the existing natural variation in nutritional
traits, and identifying the regions of the genome associated with these traits,
will underpin future breeding efforts to improve not only global food and nutrition
security, but also human health.
