Maize naturally accumulates carotenoids including ?-carotene, a major source of vitamin A. Thirty-seven Indian maize genotypes were screened for total carotenoids and ?carotene content. A positive significant association of kernel colour was observed with total carotenoid but not for ?-carotene. The level of ?-carotene among the selected 37 genotypes was low (0.14 to 4.63µg/g) as compared to total carotenoids (15.94 to 66.46 µg/g) thus necessitates the introduction and deployment of lines with high ?carotene. Hence, 54 inbred lines developed under the HarvestPlus programme were screened with functional markers of lcyE and crtRB1 genes of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway. Three genotypes (HP704-13, HP704- 22, and HP704-23) amplified most of the favorable alleles for both these genes. However, due to long Anthesis Silking Interval (ASI) and poor adaptation HP704-13 and HP704-23 could not be maintained. Under normal storage condition genotype, HP704-22 recorded 7.32 µg/g of ?-carotene which can be used as a donor for provitamin-A or to diversify the Indian germplasm.","PeriodicalId":13321,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45120316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were predicted from genome sequence of mango. Based on the SSR length (? 50 bp), highly-variable mango SSRs (MSSRs) were sorted. A sub-set of 129 MSSRs was validated on a set of 24 diverse mango genotypes yielding marker validation and polymorphism of 88.96 and 85.27 per cent, respectively. One hundred and ten polymorphic markers were identified for the present set of mango genotypes. Polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.10 to 0.78 and the highest value was observed with MSSR133. The mean PIC value was 0.40 but 33 MSSR markers showed PIC values ? 0.5, suggesting that these markers can efficiently measure genetic diversity and serve for mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in mango. MSSRs data was further used for diversity analysis of mango genotypes belonging to different agro-ecological conditions including chance seedlings, landraces, exotic and indigenous germplasm and hybrids. Cluster analysis using UPGMA of 24 mango genotypes revealed that these MSSRs were informative in diversity analysis and distinguished mango genotypes based on their origin, parentage and embryo types.
