Citrate-coated cobalt ferrite nanoparticles for the nano-enabled biofortification of wheat

Abstract

) recommended by FAO and the WHO. Our results showed that Fe supplied as NPs may improve the nutritional quality of wheat grains , and the economic yield. However, there remains a long way to go to achieve effective and economic use of nanotechnology for the nutritional development of wheat.
