Effectiveness of predictive markers for marker assisted selection of pro-vitamin A carotenoids in medium-late maturing maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines

Development of pro-vitamin A (PVA) biofortified staple crops has been promoted as an option for addressing vitamin A deficiency in humans. Recently, crtRBI, lcyE and zep1 genes of carotenoid biosynthesis pathway have been identified as contributors to PVA accumulation in maize endosperm. High phenot...
