Development of Maize Hybrids With Enhanced Vitamin-E, Vitamin-A, Lysine, and Tryptophan Through Molecular Breeding
21 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Malnutrition is a widespread problem that affects human health, society, and the economy. Traditional maize that serves as an important source of human nutrition is deficient in vitamin-E, vitamin-A, lysine, and tryptophan. Here, favorable alleles ofvte4(α-tocopherol methyl transferase),crtRB1(β-carotene hydroxylase),lcyE(lycopeneε-cyclase), ando2(opaque2) genes were combined in parental lines of four popular...
