OAR@ICRISATGenome‐wide association mapping and comparative genomics identifies genomic regions governing grain nutritional traits in finger millet ( Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.)SPuranikauthorP PSahuauthorSBeynonauthorR KSrivastavaauthorDSehgalauthorHOjulongauthorRYadavauthorMicronutrient deficiency is a serious and underestimated global health concern. Identifying existing micronutritional richness in traditional crops, and breeding this potential into staple crops that are more frequently consumed, could offer a potential low-cost, sustainable solution to micronutrient deficiency. Here, we provide the first insight into genetic control of grain micronutrient content in the staple food crop finger millet ( Eleusine coracana ). Quantifying the existing natural variation in nutritional traits, and identifying the regions of the genome associated with these traits, will underpin future breeding efforts to improve not only global food and nutrition security, but also human health.Finger MilletGenetics and Genomics2020-04Wiley Open AccessArticle
