Quantitative genetics, molecular techniques and agronomic performance of provitamin a maize in sub-Saharan Africa
This chapter focuses on quantitative genetics, screening of germplasm collection at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, genetic diversity, genetic variation of provitamin A content in maize. Inheritance, heritability, genotype-by-environment for carotenoid content, population improv...
