Correction: Development of β-Carotene Rich Maize Hybrids through Marker-Assisted Introgression of β-carotene hydroxylase Allele

Development of vitamin A-rich cereals can help in alleviating the widespread problem of vitamin A deficiency. We report here significant enhancement of kernel β-carotene in elite maize genotypes through accelerated marker-assisted backcross breeding. A favourable allele (543 bp) of the β-carotene hydroxylase (crtRB1) gene was introgressed in the seven elite inbred parents, which were low (1.4 µ...

Electrospun Scaffolds for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering

INTRODUCTION Heart valve replacements are required for a number of heart diseases and replacements, as well as for both pediatric and adult populations. It is estimated that 2.5% of the population has valvular heart disease [1], and annually, over 250,000 people worldwide receive heart valve replacements [1]. Tissue engineering (TE) strategies hold the most promise for permanently restoring the...
