Genetic diversity of nutritionally important carotenoids in 94 pea and 121 chickpea accessions

2015-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Biofortification of staple crops via breeding is an attractive strategy for reducing human micronutrient deficiencies. The objective of this research was to examine the concentration of carotenoids in diverse pea and chickpea accessions grown in Saskatchewan (Canada) using high performance liquid chromatography. In pea accessions mean concentration of lutein was highest (11.2μgg−1) followed by β-carotene (0.5μgg−1...
