Abstract excerpt

Deficiency of vitamin-E or tocopherol causes neurological disorders in humans. α-tocopherol possessing the highest vitamin-E activity is present in low concentration in maize kernel. Nine lines and four testers possessing favourable allele of ZmVTE4 that significantly enhances vitamin-E activity were used to generate 36 hybrid combinations. Significant variation was observed for α- (5.95–39.03 μg/g), γ- (11.69–50....
