Genome-wide association analysis reveals new targets for carotenoid biofortification in maize by Suwarno, W.B., Pixley, Kevin, Palacios-Rojas, Natalia, Kaeppler, S.M., Babu, Raman

“…SNPs at or near all of these regions were identified and may be useful target regions for carotenoid biofortification breeding efforts in maize; for example a genomic region on chromosome 2 explained ~16% of the phenotypic variance for β-carotene independently of CRTRB1, and a variant of CCD1 that resulted in reduced β-cryptoxanthin degradation was found in lines that have previously been observed to have low proVA degradation rates.…”
