Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Biofortification is the development and/or selection of micronutrient/phytonutrient rich staple crops using efficient traditional breeding techniques or modern biotechnology tools. However, even if in some cases the use of transgenic approach is crucial, consumer concerns about genetically modified organisms is increasing, which shifts most of the efforts toward the use of naturally biofortified crops. The valorization of biofortified crops is of great importance since their differences with currently and ordinary grown cultivars is clearly visible in case of high-pigment and purple tomato and colored potatoes. It has been reported that the consumption of fruit and vegetables, rich in various phytochemicals, is associated with health benefits, such as lower risk of contracting chronic diseases as well as extended shelf life and marketability compared to currently grown cultivars. In this context, the existence of genetic variability in various crops particularly, tomato (high-pigment and purple tomato) and potato (colored potato), enables the development of new crop varieties with both satisfying agronomic traits and increased functional quality. The development of such crops will contribute to satisfy the demand of (1) growers for high-income nutrient-rich crops with increased shelf life, (2) processors for high-value-added processed products with increased marketability, and (3) consumers for nutrient-rich crops and processed products as well, which will increase the intake of various phytochemicals.
