LEIJA-MARTINEZ, Paola; BENAVIDES-MENDOZA, Adalberto; ROCHA-ESTRADA, Alejandra y MEDRANO-MACIAS, Julia Rosa. Iodine biofortification in plants for human consumption. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.8, pp.2025-2036. ISSN 2007-0934.
This paper describe health problems due to insufficient iodine intake, thus the alternatives that have been used to alleviate this global problem, both traditional and iodization of table salt to new trends of iodine biofortification in the main plants for human consumption. The mechanisms of absorption, volatilization and transport of iodine in plants, distinguishing between marine and terrestrial species are included. The results of some biofortification studies are also mentioned, citing the different forms of application and the differences obtained between cropping systems in soil and soilless.
