Plant-based raw material: Improved food quality for better nutrition via plant genomics

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    Plants form the basis of the human food chain. Characteristics of plants are therefore crucial to the quantity and quality of human food. In this review, it is discussed how technological developments in the area of plant genomics and plant genetics help to mobilise the potential of plants to improve the quality of life of the rapidly growing world population
