What is the process of breeding by which high vitamins or protein and high-fat crops are grown?
Bio fortification
Biofortification is the process of breeding crops, through conventional plant breeding or biotechnology, so that they have higher levels of vitamins, minerals, proteins and healthier fats.
Examples include Golden Rice rich in vitamin A, Atlas 66 wheat with high protein, and iron-fortified beans; IARI New Delhi has released several such varieties to fight hidden hunger.
Tissue culture is a technique of growing new plants from cells or tissues in a nutrient medium, and inbreeding and interspecific hybridisation are crossing methods; none of them specifically means enhancing nutritional content.
Hence, the answer is biofortification.
