**6. Conclusions**

Bio-enrichment of zinc-enriched rice is an effective means of combating zinc malnutrition in rice-dominated developing countries. Some progress has been made in understanding the molecular basis of zinc accumulation. By developing bio-enriched rice varieties with high zinc content in white rice, with domestic and international funding in India, we are addressing zinc deficiency, especially in developing countries where rice is an important staple food. .. Plants are at the top of the food chain and produce large amounts of nutrients for consumption by other species. As a result, enhancing the uptake of minerals from the soil and increasing their mobility and bioavailability in the edible parts of plants benefits human and animal nutrition. In addition, future bioenhancement will be needed to fully understand the number of nutrients in soil and plant ecosystems. This is a potential means of significantly impacting the nutritional problems of human health and providing more nutrients to the world's population.
