Allelic variations for lycopene-ε-cyclase and β-carotene hydroxylase genes in maize inbreds and their utilization in β-carotene enrichment programme
Vitamin A deficiency is a global health problem and can be effectively alleviated through crop biofortification. Quantification of carotenoids using high-performance liquid chromatography is expensive and time-consuming, thereby posing a challenge in the selection of genotypes with high provitamin A...
