Enhancing β-Carotene Concentration in Parental Lines of CO6 Maize Hybrid Through Marker-Assisted Backcross Breeding (MABB)

14 Oct 2020

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a global health problem, many people around the world, especially children and pregnant women are VAD deficient or insufficient. Maize is known as an important source of provitamin A for humans. Hence, enhancement of provitamin A carotenoids (pVAC) in maize varieties through breeding or biofortification is a better option for alleviating VAD in developing countries, especially India....
