Abstract

Crop biofortification programs require fast, accurate and inexpensive methods of identifying nutrient dense genotypes. This study investigated energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) for the measurement of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and selenium (Se) concentrations in whole grain wheat. It is concluded that EDXRF offers a fast and economical method for the assessment of Zn, Fe and Se concentration in wheat biofortification programs
