Diallel Analysis of Grain Iron and Zinc Density in Southern African-Adapted Maize Inbreds

2004-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Iron and zinc deficiencies in humans are prevalent in areas where maize (Zea mays L.) constitutes a significant portion of the human diet, such as sub Saharan Africa. This study determined the breeding potential for increasing grain Fe and Zn density to increase Fe and Zn intakes among maize-consuming populations. Fourteen southern African-adapted white-grained maize inbred lines were crossed in a diallel. The F₁...
