Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: 'Hidden hunger' is an increasing concern at the global scale among both developing and developed countries. Quality protein maize (QPM) lines are nutritionally superior and with selection can be more productive than normal maize lines. However, diversification of QPM germplasm and establishing a broad genetic base is crucial to maintain a sustainable biofortified maize program. In the present study,...
