... The application of modern molecular breeding tools including genetic manipulation has been a proven tactic to improve the nutritional status of crops including enhancement of grain protein and developing quality protein maize (QPM) (Prasanna et al. 2001;Kumar et al. 2011;Tabbita et al. 2013;Vishwakarma et al. 2014). Adoption of QPM over common maize has significantly improved the nutritional status of human health especially in infants in terms of improved weight and height growth rate and enhanced feed efficiency (Gupta et al. 2013;Tessema et al. 2016). Beneficial effects of consumption of plant phenolics through diet have led to the development of cultivars in diverse crops such as rice, maize, barley, sorghum, soybean, and wheat that are rich in phenylpropanoids for cultivation in America and Europe (Dwivedi et al. 2016). ...
