Marker-assisted backcrossing of lcyE for enhancement of proA in sweet corn

2018-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) compromises the immune system and is the leading cause of preventable blindness in children in many developing countries. Biofortification provides a sustainable way to prevent VAD and other micronutrient malnutrition problems. Sweet corn is one of the most popular vegetables and is an important provitamin A (proA) resource for humans. In this study, one common corn line with favorable l...
