Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Allele mining for provitamin A biofortification in sorghum is advanced with new pre-bred germplasm and markers that are trait-predictive in diverse germplasm and breeding programs. Provitamin A biofortification of the staple cereal crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) could reduce vitamin A deficiency in low-income countries of sub-Saharan Africa. To advance mining of alleles that confer high...
