Dynamics of accumulation of lysine and tryptophan, and kernel modification in opaque2, opaque16, and double mutant (opaque2/opaque16) genotypes during kernel development in maize.

Abstract excerpt

Recessive opaque2 (o2) and opaque16 (o16) genes enhance lysine and tryptophan in maize kernels. Though few o2, o16-, and o2o16-based maize genotypes have been developed, the transition of quality attributes and seed morphology through different stages of kernel development has not been studied yet. To understand the role of o2 and o16 genes in the regulation of essential amino acids and kernel opaqueness in...
