Sažetak
Objectives of this study were to examine differences among non low-phytic acid maize genotypes in Zn and P concentrations in grain determined in a vast experiment and to investigate relationship among these concentrations including P:Zn ratio in grain as a quantitative trait of maize grain. Increasing of Zn bioavailability in grain of non low- phytic acid maize genotypes seems to be feasible, due to weak relationship between Zn and P concentrations. Although the breeding material used in this study is not completely relevant for the areas where human micronutrient malnutrition occurred, our findings could be useful for the regions with phosphorus-imbalanced soils found in much of the developing world, where low-phytic-acid maize production is not a good option.
