Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is a required micronutrient for all living form
including plant, humans and microorganisms. Human and other
living organisms require Zinc throughout life in little quantities to
orchestrate a complete array of physiological functions [1]. Zinc
is also important micronutrient for plant which plays numerous
functions in life cycle of plants. The aim of biofortification is to
produce plants that have an augmented content of bioavailable
nutrients in their edible parts [2].
