Abstract
Abstract
This chapter presents the status of molecular breeding, especially marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB), followed in each of the nutritional traits of maize. It focuses on breeding and improvement of protein quality, lysine and tryptophan, provitamin A, vitamin E, phytate, glycaemic index, amylose, and biofortification of maize for human and animal use.
