Abstract excerpt
Vitamin E (tocochromanols), a vital lipid-soluble antioxidant, is often deficient in maize-based diets. Our objective was to identify potential genomic regions associated with tocochromanols variation and evaluate the potential of genomic predictions for its improvement. We assessed 1044 tropical maize inbreds from three panels across multiple environments, and genotyped them with high-density single-nucleotide...
