Abstract
Bioactive compound ‘lutein’, an α-carotenoid is responsible for ocular health and preventing major cardiovascular diseases in human beings and it cannot be synthesized de novo. ‘Lutein content is found only in traces among the popular cultivars of rice. ‘Kavuni’, an Indian traditional landrace, rich in lutein content (238 μg/100 g) is used in the present study to transfer lutein into two popular cultivars ‘ASD 16’ and ‘Swarna Sub1’ using marker assisted backcross breeding strategy. Phenotyping for lutein quantification was done using HPLC (High performance Liquid Chromatography) and further antioxidant analysis was carried out by DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl) based scavenging assay. Across the crosses, eight backcross progeny were found to have higher lutein content than respective recurrent parents with an average lutein content of 96.5 μg/100 g and background recovery of 64.53%. One progeny (S33) from Cross II recorded highest lutein content of 322 μg/100 g, much higher than the donor parent indicating transgressive segregation. Significant positive correlation was observed between lutein content and antioxidants among the backcross progeny.

The main objective of this initiative is to promote agricultural research and development. The journal will publish high quality original research papers and critical reviews on emerging fields and concepts for providing future directions. The publications will include both applied and basic research covering the following disciplines of agricultural sciences: Genetic resources, genetics and breeding, biotechnology, physiology, biochemistry, management of biotic and abiotic stresses, and nutrition of field crops, horticultural crops, livestock and fishes; agricultural meteorology, environmental sciences, forestry and agro forestry, agronomy, soils and soil management, microbiology, water management, agricultural engineering and technology, agricultural policy, agricultural economics, food nutrition, agricultural statistics, and extension research; impact of climate change and the emerging technologies on agriculture, and the role of agricultural research and innovation for development.
