Abstract

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major risk factor for human health, affecting about 30% of the world鈥檚 population. To study the potential of genomic selection (GS) for maize with increased Zn concentration, an association panel and two doubled haploid (DH) populations were evaluated in three environments.
