It is a good source of energy, protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals including the trace elements. It is one of the cheapest and sustainable options to combat the micronutrient malnutrition, particularly Fe and Zn in predominantly sorghum eating populations. Identification of genes governing grain Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum is of interest. Earlier studies on other cereals showed role of number of genes for grain Fe and Zn homeostasis and uptake, transport and loading, but so far no reports available on genomic regions/ QTLs and candidate genes governing sorghum grain Fe and Zn content in sorghum. 2013 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/7399/1/InSilico_CP_Dec_2013.pdf application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/7399/7/3.Paper_In%20Silico%20identificationDraftversion.pdf Anuradha, K and Prakash, B and Ramu, P and Shah, T and Ashok Kumar, A and Deshpande, S P (2013) In Silico identification of candidate genes involved for grain Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum using reported cereals gene homologs.
