Abstract excerpt
Diverse uses of maize oil attracted various stakeholders, including food, feed, and bioenergy, highlighting the increased demand for sustainable production. Here, 48 diverse sub-tropical maize genotypes varying for dgat1-2 and fatb genes governing oil attributes, were evaluated in three diverse locations to assess trends of oil content, fatty acid (FA) profile, the effect of environment on oil attributes, the...
