"Association of Grain Iron and Zinc Content With Other Nutrients in Pearl Millet Germplasm, Breeding Lines, and Hybrids"^^ . "Micronutrient deficiency is most prevalent in developing regions of the world, including\r\nAfrica and Southeast Asia where pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) is a major\r\ncrop. Increasing essential minerals in pearl millet through biofortification could reduce\r\nmalnutrition caused by deficiency. This study evaluated the extent of variability of\r\nmicronutrients (Fe, Zn, Mn, and Na) and macronutrients (P, K, Ca, and Mg) and their\r\nrelationship with Fe and Zn content in 14 trials involving pearl millet hybrids, inbreds, and\r\ngermplasm. Significant genetic variability ofmacronutrients andmicronutrients was found\r\nwithin and across the trials (Ca: 4.2–40.0mg 100 g−1, Fe: 24–145mg kg−1, Zn: 22–\r\n96mg kg−1, and Na: 3.0–63mg kg−1). Parental lines showed significantly larger variation\r\nfor nutrients than hybrids, indicating their potential for use in hybrid parent improvement\r\nthrough recurrent selection. Fe and Zn contents were positively correlated and highly\r\nsignificant (r=0.58–0.81; p<0.01). Fe and Zn were positively and significantly correlated\r\nwith Ca (r = 0.26–0.61; p < 0.05) and Mn (r = 0.24–0.50; p < 0.05). The findings indicate\r\nthat joint selection for Fe, Zn, and Ca will be effective. Substantial genetic variation\r\nand high heritability (>0.60) for multiple grain minerals provide good selection accuracy\r\nprospects for genetic enhancement. A highly positive significant correlation between Fe\r\nand Zn and the nonsignificant correlation of grain macronutrients and micronutrients with\r\nFe and Zn suggest that there is scope to achieve higher levels of Fe/Zn simultaneously in\r\ncurrent pearl millet biofortification efforts without affecting other grain nutrients. Results\r\nsuggest major prospects for improving multiple nutrients in pearl millet."^^ . "2022-02" . . . "8" . "746625" . . "Frontiers Media"^^ . . . "Frontiers in Nutrition (TSI)"^^ . . .
