To help alleviate vitamin A deficiency in Africa, we have developed nutritionally enhanced sorghum with stabilized high all-trans-β-carotene accumulation. Toward the finalization of this nutritionally enhanced sorghum for food production, confined field trials were conducted to determine the agronomic performance of thirteen independent transgenic events in Iowa and Hawaii. Through these trials, three leading events with no negative impact on agronomic performance were identified. The studies described in this chapter have laid the groundwork for development of the next generation of β-carotene elevated sorghum as a food product.
为帮助缓解非洲的维生素A缺乏问题，我们培育出了营养强化高粱，其全反式β-胡萝卜素积累稳定且含量高。为使这种营养强化高粱最终用于食品生产，我们在爱荷华州和夏威夷进行了有限田间试验，以测定13个独立转基因事件的农艺性能。通过这些试验，确定了三个对农艺性能无负面影响的领先事件。本章所述研究为将下一代β-胡萝卜素含量提高的高粱开发成食品奠定了基础。
