Natural genetic variation in lycopene epsilon cyclase tapped for maize biofortification
Maize is the dominant subsistence crop in much of sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas, where 17 to 30 percent of children under age 5 are vitamin A deficient. Diet diversification, food fortification, and supplementation have all been used to combat dietary micronutrient deficiencies. However, diet...
