Improved phytonutrient content through plant genetic improvement

Article Abstract:

The genetic enhancement of crop plants to produce higher levels of micronutrients will require interdisciplinary research among geneticists and nutritionists. This article offers the knowledge base for plant genetic enhancement, gaps in current scientific knowledge, and a role for the federal government in such research.

Agricultural approaches to improving phytonutrient content in plants: an overview

Article Abstract:

Research is being conducted to increase the substances plants produce that combat chronic disease. These phytonutrients have been identified and can be modified through advances in plant molecular biology, biochemistry, and genomics.

Influence of production, handling, and storage on phytonutrient content of foods

Article Abstract:

How agriculturally-produced food products are handled and stored affects their phytonutrient content. New research and food production paradigms must be established to reflect these new priorities in agricultural research.
