Cassava is a widely grown staple in Sub-Saharan Africa and consumed as a cheap source of calories, but the crop is deficient in micronutrients including pro-vitamin A carotenoids. This challenge is currently being addressed through biofortification breeding that relies on phenotypic selection. Ge...

Background: Biofortification of staple crops is a cost effective and sustainable approach that can help combatvitamin A and other micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. PCR -based DNA markers distinguishingalleles of three key genes of maize endosperm carotenoid biosynthesis (PSY1, l...

Development of pro-vitamin A (PVA) biofortified staple crops has been promoted as an option for addressing vitamin A deficiency in humans. Recently, crtRBI, lcyE and zep1 genes of carotenoid biosynthesis pathway have been identified as contributors to PVA accumulation in maize endosperm. High phe...
