Exploring grain amaranth germplasm potential as a source of breeding nutritious leafy greens: insights from nutritional profiling, genetic and multivariate analysis

Abstract Background Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) is a nutri-dense pseudocereal with dual-purpose potential as both grain and leafy vegetable. The exploration of grain amaranth types as leafy green could be useful in diversifying food systems, cropping systems and enhancing amaranth ge...
