Quality protein maize (QPM) is rich in lysine and tryptophan. QPM has notable variations in
protein composition, critical amino acid profiles, and grain production potential. These …

Malnutrition affects growth and development in humans and causes socio-economic losses.
Normal maize is deficient in essential amino acids, lysine and tryptophan; and vitamin-A …

Maize is one of the important food crops after rice and wheat. It has good nutritive value in
terms of starch, proteins, vitamins, and micronutrients which makes this crop important for …

Vitamin B and its derivatives possess diverse physiological functions and are essential
micronutrients for humans. Their variation in crops is important for the identification of …

Plants synthesize an array of volatile compounds, many of which serve ecological roles in
attracting pollinators, deterring herbivores, and communicating with their surroundings …

This study aimed to identify the determinants of adoption of quality protein maize (QPM)
varieties. QPM varieties are promoted as a solution to the problem of undernutrition, and …

Abstract Information on genetic diversity and population structure in maize breeding lines
can assist in selecting genetic resources and managing genetic variation in breeding …

Genetic variation serves as the basis for introducing new traits into plants for improving their
nutritional value. It has an influence on gene expression, and subsequently on the metabolic …

The present study involved incorporation of two major QTLs for pre-harvest sprouting
tolerance (PHST) in an Indian wheat cultivar named Lok1, which happens to be PHS …

Maize is a vital staple food crop that contributes significantly to global food security.
However, it lacks some key vitamins (like vitamin A), minerals (including Fe, Zn, Mn, Se, and …
