摘要

Vitamin A deficiency is a global health problem and can be effectively alleviated through crop biofortification. Quantification of carotenoids using high-performance liquid chromatography is expensive and time-consuming, thereby posing a challenge in the selection of genotypes with high provitamin A. Favourable alleles possessing rare genetic variation in lycopene -ε -cyclase (lcyE ) and β -carotene hydroxylase (crtRB1 ) genes are associated with higher accumulation of provitamin A, especially β -carotene; and selection of these alleles holds immense promise in reducing large-scale phenotypic assays. Screening of a diverse set of 385 maize inbred lines of indigenous and exotic origin detected the presence of two alleles (amplicon size: 250 and 650?bp) of lcyE and three alleles (amplicon size: 296, 543 and 875?bp) of crtRB1 in the inbred panel. Favourable alleles of both the genes were rare among the traditional maize germplasm; 3.38% of the inbreds possessed the favourable allele (650?bp) of lcyE , while 3.90% inbreds had the favourable allele (543?bp) of crtRB1 . Five inbreds (1.3%) with favourable alleles of both the genes were found. Inbreds with favourable alleles of crtRB1 and lcyE serve as rich genetic resources for effective utilization in the maize biofortification programme.
