Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition
arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties ...
Breeding Biofortified Pearl Millet Cultivars with high iron density
Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the
development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these ...
Tester Effect on Combining Ability and Its Relationship with Line Performance per se for Grain Iron and Zinc Densities in Pearl Millet
Development of inbred lines with high general combining ability (GCA) is an important aspect of hybrid breeding research. Although broad-based open-pollinated populations (varieties and composites) are widely used to assess ...
