Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identifying QTLs/genes for iron and zinc in rice grains can help in biofortification programs. Genome wide mapping showed 14 QTLs for iron and zinc concentration in unpolished rice grains of F7 RILs derived from Madhukar × Swarna. One line (HL) with high Fe and Zn and one line (LL) with low Fe and Zn in unpolished rice were compared with each other for gene expression using qPCR. 7 day old seedlings...
