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
Marker-assisted introgression of opaque2 allele for rapid conversion of elite hybrids into quality protein maize
Firoz Hossain,Vignesh Muthusamy,Neha Pandey,Ashish K. Vishwakarma,Aanchal Baveja,Rajkumar U. Zunjare,Nepolean Thirunavukkarasu,Supradip Saha,K.M. Manjaiah,Boddupalli M. Prasanna,Boddupalli M. Prasanna,Hari S. Gupta +11 more
TL;DR: The newly developed quality protein maize (QPM) inbreds showed modified kernels (25–50% opaqueness) coupled with high degree of phenotypic resemblance to the respective recipient lines, including grain yield, which holds significant promise for improving nutritional security.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marker-assisted pyramiding of opaque2 and novel opaque16 genes for further enrichment of lysine and tryptophan in sub-tropical maize
Konsam Sarika,Firoz Hossain,Vignesh Muthusamy,Rajkumar U. Zunjare,Aanchal Baveja,Rajat Goswami,Jayant S. Bhat,Supradip Saha,Hari S. Gupta +8 more
TL;DR: The role of o16 as supplementary to o2 for nutritional quality enhancement in maize, and improved elite inbreds and hybrids developed here hold great significance in maize biofortification programme are signified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofortification of maize: An Indian perspective
TL;DR: A review on status, constraints and opportunities in developing biofortified maize cultivars with enhanced protein quality, provitamin A, and kernel -Fe and -Zn and possible interventions to overcome the challenges of slow dissemination of biofortify crops have been discussed.
