Maize is one of the important food crops after rice and wheat. It has good nutritive value in terms of starch, proteins, vitamins, and micronutrients which makes this crop important for industrial use. Many elite maize inbred lines and hybrids have
already been developed which are having several combinations of nutritional quality traits, viz., quality protein maize (QPM),
provitamin A, low phytate, and vitamin E using molecular marker-assisted breeding (MAB), especially in India, and China.
Hence, the identifcation of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for various quality traits is an important aspect. Several QTLs
have been identifed for quality traits and introgressed into elite germplasm by various research groups to develop multinutrient-rich maize genotypes. The use of potential QTLs in molecular breeding with advanced phenotyping platforms for
quick identifcation or quality check may help the breeders to develop and commercialize biofortifed maize. In this review,
comprehensive information about QTLs for diferent quality traits in maize has been discussed for their potential utility in
maize breeding programs.
