Exploring grain amaranth germplasm potential as a source of breeding nutritious leafy greens: insights from nutritional profiling, genetic and multivariate analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) is a nutri-dense pseudocereal with dual-purpose potential as both grain and leafy vegetable. The exploration of grain amaranth types as leafy green could be useful in diversifying food systems, cropping systems and enhancing amaranth germplasm resources. The systematic nutritional profiling and multivariate analysis of grain amaranth leaves is limited,...
