dc.description.abstract The goal of this project is to develop transgenic sorghum varieties that will deliver essential amino acids (lysine, threonine and tryptophan), vitamins A and E, iron and zinc - all of which are deficient in sorghum - to African populations in the arid and semi-arid tropics. The end-product is referred to as African Biofortified Sorghum (ABS). Taking cognisance of the limitations of classic breeding in the area of nutrition in fortifying sorghum with these essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals, the strategy will rely on genetic engineering en
