"Discovery and validation of candidate genes for grain iron and zinc metabolism in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]"^^ . "Pearl millet is an important crop for alleviating micronutrient malnutrition through genomics-assisted\r\nbreeding for grain Fe (GFeC) and Zn (GZnC) content. In this study, we identified candidate genes\r\nrelated to iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) metabolism through gene expression analysis and correlated it with\r\nknown QTL regions for GFeC/GZnC. From a total of 114 Fe and Zn metabolism-related genes that were\r\nselected from the related crop species, we studied 29 genes. Different developmental stages exhibited\r\ntissue and stage-specific expressions for Fe and Zn metabolism genes in parents contrasting for GFeC\r\nand GZnC. Results revealed that PglZIP, PglNRAMP and PglFER gene families were candidates for\r\nGFeC and GZnC. Ferritin-like gene, PglFER1 may be the potential candidate gene for GFeC. Promoter\r\nanalysis revealed Fe and Zn deficiency, hormone, metal-responsive, and salt-regulated elements.\r\nGenomic regions underlying GFeC and GZnC were validated by annotating major QTL regions for grain\r\nFe and Zn. Interestingly, PglZIP and PglNRAMP gene families were found common with a previously\r\nreported linkage group 7 major QTL region for GFeC and GZnC. The study provides insights into the\r\nfoundation for functional dissection of different Fe and Zn metabolism genes homologs and their\r\nsubsequent use in pearl millet molecular breeding programs globally."^^ .
