"Stability Performance of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry-Phenotyped Kernel Minerals Concentration and Grain Yield in Maize in Different Agro-Climatic Zones"^^ . "Deficiency of iron and zinc causes micronutrient malnutrition or hidden hunger, which\r\nseverely affects ~25% of global population. Genetic biofortification of maize has emerged\r\nas cost effective and sustainable approach in addressing malnourishment of iron and zinc\r\ndeficiency. Therefore, understanding the genetic variation and stability of kernel micronutrients\r\nand grain yield of the maize inbreds is a prerequisite in breeding micronutrient-rich high\r\nyielding hybrids to alleviate micronutrient malnutrition. We report here, the genetic variability\r\nand stability of the kernel micronutrients concentration and grain yield in a set of 50 maize\r\ninbred panel selected from the national and the international centres that were raised at six\r\ndifferent maize growing regions of India. Phenotyping of kernels using inductively coupled\r\nplasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) revealed considerable variability for kernel minerals\r\nconcentration (iron: 18.88 to 47.65 mg kg–1; zinc: 5.41 to 30.85 mg kg–1; manganese: 3.30\r\nto17.73 mg kg–1; copper: 0.53 to 5.48 mg kg–1) and grain yield (826.6 to 5413 kg ha–1). Significant\r\npositive correlation was observed between kernel iron and zinc within (r = 0.37 to r =\r\n0.52, p < 0.05) and across locations (r = 0.44, p < 0.01). Variance components of the additive\r\nmain effects and multiplicative interactions (AMMI) model showed significant genotype\r\nand genotype × environment interaction for kernel minerals concentration and grain yield.\r\nMost of the variation was contributed by genotype main effect for kernel iron (39.6%), manganese\r\n(41.34%) and copper (41.12%), and environment main effects for both kernel zinc\r\n(40.5%) and grain yield (37.0%). Genotype main effect plus genotype-by-environment interaction\r\n(GGE) biplot identified several mega environments for kernel minerals and grain\r\nyield. Comparison of stability parameters revealed AMMI stability value (ASV) as the better\r\nrepresentative of the AMMI stability parameters. Dynamic stability parameter GGE distance\r\n(GGED) showed strong and positive correlation with both mean kernel concentrations and\r\ngrain yield. Inbreds (CM-501, SKV-775, HUZM-185) identified from the present investigation\r\nwill be useful in developing micronutrient-rich as well as stable maize hybrids without\r\ncompromising grain yield."^^ .
