Development of β-carotene rich maize hybrids through marker-assisted introgression of β-carotene hydroxylase allele.

Development of vitamin A-rich cereals can help in alleviating the widespread problem of vitamin A deficiency. We report here significant enhancement of kernel β-carotene in elite maize genotypes through accelerated marker-assisted backcross breeding. A favourable allele (543 bp) of the β-carotene hy...
