Menkir, A.Palacios-Rojas, N.Alamu, O.Dias Paes, M.C.Dhliwayo, T.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Mengesha, W.Ndhlela, T.Oliveira Guimarães, P.E.Pixley, K.Rocheford, T.[Vitamin A-biofortified maize: exploiting native genetic variation for nutrient enrichment]Vitamin A-biofortified maize: exploiting native genetic variation for nutrient enrichment

The effect of different packages and storage conditions on the retention of pro-vitamin A carotenoids (pVAC) in ogi powder produced from yellow-seeded maize was investigated to study its storage stability on micronutrient retention. The ogi powder produced was packaged in a high-density polyethyl...


Awoyale, W.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Menkir, A.[Retention of Pro-vitamin A Carotenoids in Ogi Powder as Affected by Packaging Materials and Storage Conditions]Retention of Pro-vitamin A Carotenoids in Ogi Powder as Affected by Packaging Materials and Storage Conditions

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...

Menkir, A.Pixley, K.Maziya-Dixon, B.B.Gedil, M.[Recent advances in breeding maize for enhanced pro-vitamin A content]Recent advances in breeding maize for enhanced pro-vitamin A content

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...
