Zeaxanthin and lutein are the most predominant carotenoid compounds in maize, and accessions with darker orange kernels generally have higher levels of these two compounds (Pfeiffer and McClafferty 2007; Burt et al. 2011).
We conducted a GWAS for each of the 24 carotenoid grain traits in the 201 lines with light-yellow to dark-orange kernel color.
Consequently, a total of 201 lines with a range from light-yellow to dark-orange kernel color and adequate amounts of mature grain for analysis were used.
The rapid, cost-effective development of high-yielding, locally adapted germplasm with high provitamin A and total carotenoids and dark-orange kernel color could effectively create a new widespread biofortified grain crop.
He was the old man with frayed trousers whom I saw standing outside the house, running his hand through a bowl of bright orange half-dried corn kernels.
Their sprouts looked like collections of multicolored beads all sorted neatly into a patchwork of square boxes--pale orange lentils, golden garbanzos, brown kernels of wheat and dark green pumpkin seeds, ready for a crafts class to make them into mosaics.

The town is now the chief market centre (rice, fish, cattle, oranges, and palm oil and kernels) for the region's Landuma, Fulani, Nalu, Mikifore, and Baga peoples.
