Evaluation reveals genetic variability for iron and zinc enrichment in popular rice genotypes, suggesting effective breeding options.

Key Points

The research aims to assess genetic variation and micronutrient content of rice genotypes in order to identify effective candidates for biofortification.
Evaluated 16 rice genotypes during the kharif season under irrigated conditions.
Applied a randomized block design with 3 replications.
Analyzed 18 agronomic, quality, and nutritional traits using analysis of variance and principal component analysis.
Significant genetic variation observed for most traits (p<0.01).
Iron and zinc content showed moderate genotypic variation (12.50 % and 14.05 %).
KNM 118 and Bhadrakali exhibited the highest levels of iron and zinc, respectively.
Strong positive correlation (r = 0.65) between iron and zinc levels.
