The increasing world population and limited amount of land area appropriate for intensive agriculture necessitate high-yield cultivars. The focus is on the enrichment of existing crops deficient in nutrients, which is also called biofortification. Microelements, vitamins, and fatty acids belong to most important traits being subjected to biofortification. Biofortification strategies can be divided on fertilization-based strategy, which is characterized by direct application of nutrients or plant growth promoting substances on plants, and biotechnological strategy, which involves molecular biology techniques in order to enhance transport, production, and accumulation of nutrients. Recent advances in plant biotechnology, such as genome-editing, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated 9, and transcription activator-like effector nuclease, as well as an extensive study of genetic diversity, are acceptable approaches to the development of biofortified crops.
