Identification and validation of genomic regions influencing kernel zinc and iron in maize por Hindu, Vemuri, Palacios-Rojas, Natalia, Babu, Raman, Suwarno, Willy B., Rashid, Zerka, Usha, Rayalcheruvu, Saykhedkar, Gajanan R., Nair, Sudha K.

“…Based on this analysis, 11 (Zn) and 11 (Fe) SNPs were found to have significant effect on the trait variance (P ≤ 0.01, R2 ≥ 0.05) in at least one bi-parental population. These findings are being pursued in the kernel-Zn and Fe breeding program, and could hold great value in functional analysis and possible cloning of high-value genes for these traits in maize.…”
