Gene expression and metabolite profiling of thirteen Nigerian cassava landraces to elucidate starch and carotenoid composition
The prevalence of vitamin A deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa necessitates effective approaches to improve provitamin A content of major staple crops. Cassava holds much promise for food security in sub-Saharan Africa, but a negative correlation between β-carotene, a provitamin A carotenoid, and dry...
