Conteúdo: | Cereals comprise a great proportion of crop production and are considered an essential food source for humankind. Plant breeding, since the 1970s, has been responsible for the development of a successful agriculture and can also be considered as a prosperous research. Improved varieties/cultivars are the raw material for agricultural development, and such fact can be perceived more clearly, when one considers that half of the world?s population rely on rice varieties as a main staple food. Despite its broad range of characteristics, grain quality can be linked to physical appearance, cooking and sensory properties, and nutritional value. Usually, the physical appearance can be decisive to the definition of market prices, and the cooking and sensory properties can support the establishment of a ?premium? variety. Regardless the importance of physical and chemical aspects of grain quality, until recently a limited relevance has been displayed toward micronutrient content of rice. Considering that rice plays an important role as a staple food resource, improving the nutritional value of this cereal can support initiatives to overcome micronutrient deficiency in developing countries.
