Uncovering the genetic basis of carotenoid variations in maize kernels using two segregating populations

2019-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Carotenoids, which serve as precursors of vitamin A and antioxidants, play important roles in human health. Breeding to increase carotenoid levels in cereal grains is an economically feasible way to address nutritional deficiency. Here, we performed quantitative trait–locus (QTL) mapping of 5 primary and 12 derived carotenoid-related traits in maize kernels in two segregating populations: Dan340 × K22 (KD) and K22...
