Marker‐assisted introgression of lpa2 locus responsible for low‐phytic acid trait into an elite tropical maize inbred (Zea mays L.)

2014-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Maize is an important food and feed crop worldwide. Phytic acid (PA), in maize kernel, is an antinutritional factor. PA chelates mineral cations and causes mineral deficiency in humans and phosphorous deficiency in animals. The undigested PA excreted by monogastric animals causes phosphorous eutrophication. Therefore, development of low‐phytate maize is indispensable. The low‐phytate locus (lpa2 allele) has been t...
