Simulating of Top-Cross system for enhancement of antioxidants in maize grain
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014 Blue maize (Zea mays L.) is grown for its high content of antioxidants. Conversion of yellow and white to blue maize is time consuming because several genes affect blue color. After each backcross selfing is needed for color to be expressed.
