Journal ArticleDOI
Development of β-carotene rich maize hybrids through marker-assisted introgression of β-carotene hydroxylase allele.
Vignesh Muthusamy,Firoz Hossain,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu,Mukesh Choudhary,Supradip Saha,Jayant S. Bhat,Boddupalli M. Prasanna,Hari S. Gupta +7 more
TL;DR: Significant enhancement of kernel β-carotene in elite maize genotypes through accelerated marker-assisted backcross breeding is reported, which can be effectively utilized in the maize biofortification programs across the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Breeding for Nutritionally Enriched Maize: Status and Prospects
Boddupalli M. Prasanna,Natalia Palacios-Rojas,Firoz Hossain,Vignesh Muthusamy,Abebe Menkir,Thanda Dhliwayo,Thokozile Ndhlela,Felix San Vicente,Sudha K. Nair,Bindiganavile S. Vivek,Xuecai Zhang,Michael Olsen,Xingming Fan +12 more
TL;DR: The status and prospects of developing nutritionally enriched maize by successfully harnessing conventional and molecular marker-assisted breeding are outlined, highlighting the need for intensification of efforts to create greater impacts on malnutrition in maize-consuming populations, especially in the low- and middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Biofortified Maize Hybrids through Marker-Assisted Stacking of β -Carotene Hydroxylase, Lycopene- ε -Cyclase and Opaque2 Genes
Rajkumar U. Zunjare,Firoz Hossain,Vignesh Muthusamy,Aanchal Baveja,Hema S. Chauhan,Jayant S. Bhat,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu,Supradip Saha,Hari S. Gupta +8 more
TL;DR: Improved inbreds can be effectively used as potential donor for independent and/or simultaneous introgression of crtRB1, lcyE, and o2 in the future breeding programme and hold great promise for nutritional security.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerated development of quality protein maize hybrid through marker‐assisted introgression of opaque‐2 allele
Hari S. Gupta,Hari S. Gupta,Babu Raman,Babu Raman,Pawan Kumar Agrawal,Vinay Mahajan,Firoz Hossain,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu +7 more
TL;DR: Vivek Maize Hybrid 9- a popular single-cross hybrid developed by crossing CM 212 and CM 145 was released for commercial cultivation in India in 2008 will help in reducing the protein malnutrition because its biological value is superior over the normal maize hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide identification and expression pattern of drought-responsive members of the NAC family in maize.
Kaliyugam Shiriga,Rinku Sharma,Krishan Kumar,Shiv Kumar Yadav,Firoz Hossain,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu +5 more
TL;DR: Within the maize genome, 152 putative NAC domain-encoding genes (ZmNACs) are identified by systematic sequence analysis and physically mapped them onto ten chromosomes of maize, opening new avenues for systematic functional analysis of new members of the NAC gene family.
