Carotenoids content of yellow-fleshed cassava genotypes grown in four agroecological zones in Nigeria and their Retinol Activity Equivalents (RAE)
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a serious and widespread public health problem in developing countries. Therefore, it is essential to identify and improve provitamin A content of staple food crops that may be promoted for health improvements. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important food crop in...
