Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chandran Sarankumar"
- Chandran Sarankumar’s research primarily focuses on enhancing the nutritional quality and disease resistance of maize through molecular techniques, including marker-assisted breeding and genetic mapping.
- His recent studies have identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) linked to sorghum downy mildew resistance and developed maize genotypes enriched in β-carotene, lysine, and tryptophan, addressing significant nutritional deficiencies.
- Sarankumar's work emphasizes the importance of biofortification in maize to combat vitamin A deficiency and protein-energy malnutrition, particularly in developing regions like India.
