Localization and gene action studies for kernel iron and zinc concentration in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
2021-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are important micronutrients for human health and well-being. Groundnut kernels are good sources of Fe and Zn. Localization studies of Fe and Zn in the kernel tissues of ten diverse groundnut genotypes revealed that, cotyledons contribute nearly 85–90% of total Fe and Zn in comparison to seed coat and embryo on dry matter basis. Generation mean analysis revealed the predominant role of addi...
