Biofortification is a process of increasing the density of vitamins and minerals in a crop through plant breeding, transgenic techniques, or agronomic practices. Biofortified crop is a good source of higher protein, minerals and healthier fats and when consumed regularly, will generate measurable improvements in human health and nutrition. Azolla is a floating pteridophyte, which contains as endosymbiont the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena azollae. Thus it acts as a biofertilizer by functioning as a nitrogen source to plants. . |
