Abstract

Nutritional imbalance has led to many chronic diseases and severely affected people’s quality of life. Developing nutrient-dense crops has become a strategy for improving the current state of human nutritional intake globally. We summarized recent advances in rice biotechnology breeding focused on enhancing micronutrients and active natural products, highlighting the cutting-edge metabolic engineering technologies and strategies employed. We discuss common challenges and potential solutions in metabolic engineering breeding. On this basis, the future development direction of rice nutrient metabolism industrialization was prospected
