Genetic Analysis of Visually Scored Orange Kernel Color in Maize

2012-11-26

Abstract excerpt

Increasing levels of provitamin A carotenoids in maize ( Zea mays L.) grain through plant breeding has potential to help humans suffering from vitamin A deficiency. In parts of Africa where this deficiency is prevalent, there is a consumer preference for white maize grain and an avoidance of yellow maize grain. White grain has minimal levels of carotenoids whereas yellow grain can have appreciable levels of carote...
