Assessing the adaptability and stability of new pearl millet hybrids for grain yield, grain iron and zinc content in Ghana using AMMI analysis

Plant Iron Research in African Countries: Current “Hot Spots”, Approaches, and Potentialities

“…Moreover, this so-called “nutricereal” has a very high nutritional value with respect to other cereals, and various breeding approaches for pearl millet are currently adopted [ 94 ]. Open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) of pearl millet were tested in various locations in West Africa for their growth performance and Fe and Zn grain content, with the identification of stable, high-Fe varieties [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Interestingly, quantitative genetics were applied to six generations of pearl millet obtained from two sets of parental lines grown at ICRISAT, Sadore, Niger, to model the trait inheritance of Fe grain content [ 48 ].…”
