Menkir, A.Gedil, M.Tanumihardjo, S.Adepoju, A.Bossey, B.[Carotenoid accumulation and agronomic performance of maize hybrids involving parental combinations from different markerbased groups]Carotenoid accumulation and agronomic performance of maize hybrids involving parental combinations from different markerbased groups

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...

Cassava is currently the third most important source of calories in the tropics and consumed as a staple food. Several cassava varieties have yellow flesh color, and contain moderate amounts of carotenoid or beta-carotene which is a precursor of vitamin A. Consumption of carotene rich foods is th...

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...
