Genetics of carotenoids for provitamin A biofortification in tropical-adapted maize

Genetics of carotenoids for provitamin A biofortification in tropical-adapted maize

Yellow maize contains high levels of β-carotene (βC), making it an important crop for combating vitamin A deficiency through biofortification. In this study, nine maize inbred lines were selected at random from 31 provitamin A (PVA) maize inbred lines and crossed in a partial diallel mating design t...
