Quantitative Trait Loci for Endosperm Modification and Amino Acid Contents in Quality Protein Maize

2010-05-01

Abstract excerpt

The deficient protein quality of corn (Zea mays L.) grain can be improved by replacing normal Opaque2 (O2) alleles with nonfunctional mutant o2 alleles. Unfortunately, o2 alleles are associated with soft endosperm texture, poor yield, and susceptibility to diseases and insects. Plant breeders have been able to restore a desirable ratio of hard to soft endosperm in o2 germplasm. These modified genotypes are known a...
