Uneven distribution of zinc in the dorsal and ventral sections of rice grain
This study examined the distribution of zinc in dorsal and ventral grain sections of rice varieties with low (RD21), moderate (CNT1 and KDML105), and high (KPK and NR) zinc concentrations. Samples of unhusked rice grain were partitioned longitudinally and analyzed for zinc. The concentration of zinc...
