Enhancement of nutritional quality in maize kernel through marker-assisted breeding for vte4, crtRB1, and opaque2 genes

Marker-Assisted Genetic Enhancement of Provitamin A in Parental Lines of Sweet Corn Hybrids

“…With the aid of background SSR markers, it is possible to select high RPGR % in the MABB-derived lines comparable to that of the recurrent parent, although the morphological observations were made on the BC 2 F 3 lines. These results are in accordance with Natesan et al, Zhang et al, and Hossain et al ,, …”

“…33 With the aid of background SSR markers, it is possible to select high RPGR % in the MABB-derived lines comparable to that of the recurrent parent, although the morphological observations were made on the BC 2 F 3 lines. These results are in accordance with Natesan et al, Zhang et al, and Hossain et al 30,34,35 In view of ensuring indispensable and vital features of the recurrent parent, attentive selection in BC 2 F 3 improved lines DBT15-1-15-3-12-11, DBT15-1-15-3-17-13, DBT15-1-15-3-23-21, and DBT15-1-15-3-32-35 from USC1-2-3-1 × UMI1230β + , DBT16-1-11-22-7-9, DBT16-1-11-22-9-12, DBT16-1-11-22-13-16, and DBT16-1-11-22-21-27 from SC1107 × UMI1230β + , and DBT18-1-18-5-4-7, DBT18-1-18-5-2-5, DBT18-1-18-5-6-3, and DBT18-1-18-5-1-5 from 12039-1 × UMI1230β + was done to study the recovery percentage of the recurrent parent. The range of recovery percent is from 75.00 to 99.33%, 75.00 to 99.31%, and 88.67 to 93.89% in USC1-2-3-1 × UMI1230β + , SC1107 × UMI1230β + , and 12039-1 × UMI1230β + , respectively, which is similar to the research discussed earlier.…”
