[PDF][PDF] Generation mean analysis of kernel iron and zinc concentrations in maize (Zea mays)
Alleviating micronutrient malnutrition through biofortification of food crops is an important
objective of breeding programmes. Of particular importance is breeding for micronutrient
enrichment, especially iron and zinc in crops, like maize (Zea mays L.). In the present study,
generation mean analysis was undertaken for the first time to estimate the nature and
magnitude of gene effects for kernel iron and zinc concentrations in 2 specific crosses of
maize, with contrasting parental lines. Scaling test indicated the influence of epistasis on the …
