The discovery and use of genetic markers associated with carotenoid levels can help to exploit the genetic potential of maize for provitamin A accumulation more effectively. Provitamin A carotenoids are classes of carotenoids that are precursors of vitamin A, an essential micronutrient in humans....
Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) is a major public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa affecting 33 million preschool-age children. Enrichment of maize varieties with provitamin A could provide sustainable and affordable solution to VAD. This study was conducted to understand the extent of GEI effects...
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...
