Genetic Loci Controlling Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Diverse Tropical Maize Lines.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 2 Mar 2018

Abstract excerpt

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 is a global public health problem affecting millions of people, especially in developing...
