        abstract = {Micronutrient malnutrition, widespread in resource poor families in the developing world where large populations rely on cereals as staple food, has emerged as a major health challenge. Over 60\% and 30\% of the world?s populations are deficient in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), respectively1. About 80\% of pregnant women and 70\% children are reported to suffer from Fe deficiency, while 52\% children ({\ensuremath{<}}5 years) have stunted growth in India2,3. Biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural approach to deliver essential micronutrients through staple foods. Pearl millet is an important staple food in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. The primary focus of HarvestPlus-supported pearl millet biofortification research at ICRISAT is on improving Fe density with Zn density as an associated trait...},
