Allele Mining of Exotic Maize Germplasm to Enhance Macular Carotenoids

2011-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Lutein and zeaxanthin are commonly referred to as the macular carotenoids, as they are localized to ocular tissues and their loss is associated with age-related macular degeneration. Thirty-four high-carotenoid (HiC) lines exhibiting uniquely high concentrations of carotenoids resulted from allele mining of the Orange Flint race using traditional breeding techniques and visual selection for deep orange endosperm c...
