Deciphering the genetic determinants of calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc accumulation in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) through a multi environment GWAS approach.

Abstract excerpt

Micronutrient malnutrition poses a global challenge, highlighting the need for biofortified crops with enhanced mineral density. Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus), a nutrient-rich pseudocereal, offers high levels of essential minerals, yet its genetic basis for mineral accumulation remains poorly understood. We evaluated 192 diverse accessions across two contrasting environments for calcium (Ca), iron...
