Development and Validation of Multiplex-PCR Assay for β-Carotene hydroxylase and γ-Tocopherol methyl transferase Genes Governing Enhanced Multivitamins in Maize for Its Application in Genomics-Assisted Breeding Open
Traditional maize possesses low concentrations of provitamin-A and vitamin-E, leading to various health concerns. Mutant alleles of crtRB1 and vte4 that enhance β-carotene (provitamin-A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin-E), respectively, in maize…

Molecular Characterization and Haplotype Analysis of Low Phytic Acid-1 (lpa1) Gene Governing Accumulation of Kernel Phytic Acid in Subtropically-Adapted Maize Open
Maize is an important food, feed, fodder and industrial crop in addition to being a valuable source of micronutrients. Phytic acid (PA), an anti-nutritional factor in maize, makes crucial minerals inaccessible to monogastric animals. The l…

Expression Dynamics of lpa1 Gene and Accumulation Pattern of Phytate in Maize Genotypes Possessing opaque2 and crtRB1 Genes at Different Stages of Kernel Development Open
Phytic acid (PA) acts as a storehouse for the majority of the mineral phosphorous (P) in maize; ~80% of the total P stored as phytate P is not available to monogastric animals and thereby causes eutrophication. In addition, phytic acid che…

Allelic variation in shrunken2 gene affecting kernel sweetness in exotic-and indigenous-maize inbreds Open
Sweet corn has become a popular food worldwide. It possesses six-times more sugar than field corn due to the presence of recessive shrunken2 ( sh2 ) gene. Despite availability of diverse sweet corn germplasm, comprehensive characterization…

Genetic analysis of reciprocal differences for yield and yield attributing traits in segregating populations of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Open
Reciprocal differences prevail in nature mainly due to unequal contribution of cytoplasmic determinants from male and female gametes to the zygote, but the influence of female parent often extends beyond simple genetic transmission. In thi…
