Enhancement of nutritional quality in maize kernel through marker-assisted breeding for vte4, crtRB1, and opaque2 genes
Traditional maize is poor in vitamin-E [α-tocopherol (α-T): 6–8 ppm], vitamin-A [provitamin-A (proA): 1–2ppm], lysine (0.150–0.2–50%), and tryptophan (0.030–0.040%). Here, we combined favourable alleles of vte4,

Characterization of crtRB1- and vte4-based biofortified sweet corn inbreds for seed vigour and physico-biochemical traits
Sweet corn possessing recessive shrunken2 (sh2) gene is popular worldwide. Traditional sweet corn is poor in vitamin A and vitamin E. Plant breeders during the selection of sweet corn genotypes mainly emphasize o...
