Genetic variation for seed phosphorus and yield traits in Indian sorghum landraces and varieties

Abstract: Phytic acid is the major storage form of phosphorus in cereals. It binds with nutritionally important metals and affects mineral bioavailability. The present study analyzed phytic acid, inorganic phosphorus (IP) content, seed weight, and grain yield in 98 sorghum landraces and varieties grown in two environments to evaluate genotypic and environmental effects and to determine trait stability. Genotypic effects and genotype × interaction were significant for phytic acid concentration and yield components. A pro… Show more

“…Highyielding germplasm lines with improved micronutrient levels were grouped together (Tabat and Abusabiba). Selection and crossing of genotypes from different clusters would help in bringing together genes favorable for yield and quality traits so as to breed tailormade varieties (Badigannavar, Girish, & Ganapathi, 2015;Shergo, Labuschagne, Shargie, & van Biljon, 2013).…”

“…The magnitude of gene expression and trait associations provides the basis for selection of genotypes in planning future breeding programs. The genetic variation for seed phosphorus and yield traits in Indian sorghum landraces was studied by Badigannavara, Girish, and Ganapathi (). The variation in phytic acid content could be due to different strain types and environmental conditions of cultivation.…”

“…For instance, phytic acid chelates positively charged minerals like Fe and Zn, forming insoluble complexes and causing decreased mineral absorption, in addition to forming complexes with protein, thus slowing the digestion rate and hampering their bio-availability ( 48 ). Several low phytic acid-containing landraces such as Malkhed-1 and Nalwar-2 and a variety Phule Maulee were reported ( 49 ). Due to these anti-nutrient interactions and the limited bio-availability of sorghum compared with other grains ( 50 ), harnessing the potential of nutrient-rich landraces and genotypes such as PSLRC-2, PSLRC-3, PSLRC-9, PYPS 2 and PYPS 13 by reducing the anti-nutritive factors should be an important goal especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, where malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies are prevalent in women and children.…”
