Abstract excerpt

A quantitative trait locus has previously been identified in maize (Zea mays L.) that influences the level of free amino acids in the endosperm, especially those from the aspartate pathway: lysine, threonine, methionine, leucine, and isoleucine. Because this locus occurs in a region of the genome containing ask2, a monofunctional aspartate kinase, the nature of the monofunctional aspartate kinase genes in the...
