Genetic loci controlling carotenoid biosynthesis in diverse tropical maize lines
Azmach, Girum; Menkir, Abebe; Spillane, Charles; Gedil, Melaku (Genetics Society of America, 2018-01-29)The discovery and use of genetic markers associated with carotenoid levels can help to exploit the genetic potential of maize for provitamin A accumulation more effectively. Provitamin A carotenoids are classes of carotenoids ... -
Marker-trait association analysis of functional gene markers for provitamin a levels across diverse tropical yellow maize inbred lines
Azmach, Girum; Gedil, Melaku; Menkir, Abebe; Spillane, Charles (Springer Nature, 2013-01-01)Background: Biofortification of staple crops is a cost effective and sustainable approach that can help combat vitamin A and other micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. PCR -based DNA markers distinguishing ... -
Next-generation genomics-assisted characterization of genetic and phenotypic diversity in yams (Dioscorea spp) to support conservation and breeding for food security
Tessema, Gezahegn Girma (13-05-20)Yams (Dioscorea spp) are staple edible tuber food crop, a favored source of medicinal plants with socio-cultural value in West Africa, Asia, Far East, Oceania and the Caribbean regions. However, the knowledge on the extent ...
