How can we combat deficiencies caused by a low vitamin B1 diet?
For half the world's population, rice is a staple food. The problem is that this cereal is low in vitamin B1. This leads to deficiencies that can cause diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
A team from the UNIGE, together with ETH Zurich and the NCHU in Taiwan, has developed a biofortified variety of rice with increased vitamin B1 content. This variety was obtained by activating a specific gene that sequesters vitamin B1 in the rice grain.
This work was directed by Teresa Fitzpatrick, full professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the Faculty of Science of UNIGE and Wilhelm Gruissem, honorary professor at ETH Zürich and Emeritus Professor and Yushan Fellow at the NCHU.
