An evaluation of kernel zinc in hybrids of elite Quality Protein Maize (QPM) and Non-QPM inbred lines adapted to the tropics based on a mating design

Genetic improvement of maize with elevated levels of zinc (Zn) can reduce Zn deficiency among populations who rely on maize as a staple. Inbred lines of quality protein maize (QPM) and non-QPM with elevated Zn levels in the kernel have been identified. However, information about the optimal strategy...
