Abstract excerpt

The nutritional value of maize (Zea mays) seed is most limited by its protein quality because its storage proteins are devoid of the essential amino acid lysine (Lys). The Lys content of the kernel can be significantly increased by the opaque-2 mutation, which reduces zein synthesis and increases accumulation of proteins that contain Lys. Elongation factor 1alpha (eEF1A) is one of these proteins, and its...
