Abstract : Ensuring adequate levels of essential micronutrients like iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), in staple crops is crucial for addressing widespread micronutrient deficiencies and improving human health. The identification of germplasms with high grain Iron and Zinc concentrations represents a significant step forward in promoting crop biofortification efforts. Here in our study out of 86 germplasm 10 were found with high iron contents are IL 497, MR 47, IS 20575, AS 3883, ICSV 202, TNS 599, AS 3749, MIS 9652, MR 32B, SPV 615 and the 10 genotypes with low iron contents are IL 1136, MR 8, AS 2407, M-1061, IL 4664, A-3895, IL 1136, A-3822, AS 2157, ICSV 61. And, the 8 8 genotypes with high zinc contents are MR 32B, ICSV 166, IS 9283, A6072, ISVAT 1066, AS 3883, IS 9652, IS 20575 and the genotypes with low zinc contents are SPV 386, SPV 615, TNS 599, E 19, IL 4664, AS 3749, IL 1136, MR 8. By incorporating these valuable genotypes into breeding programs, we can develop nutrient-rich crops that contribute to alleviating micronutrient deficiencies and supporting improved nutritional outcomes for populations worldwide.
