Deciphering Genomic Regions for High Grain Iron and Zinc Content Using Association Mapping in Pearl Millet

Deciphering Genomic Regions for High Grain Iron and Zinc Content Using Association Mapping in Pearl Millet

Micronutrient malnutrition, especially deficiency of two mineral elements, iron [Fe] and zinc [Zn] in the developing world needs urgent attention. Pearl millet is one of the best crops with many nutritional properties and is accessible to the poor. We report findings of the first attempt to mine fav...
