Phenotypic Characterization of Quality Protein Maize Endosperm Modification and Amino Acid Contents in a Segregating Recombinant Inbred Population

2008-09-01

Abstract excerpt

The protein quality of maize (Zea mays L.) can be improved by replacing normal Opaque2 alleles with nonfunctional recessive alleles (o2). Homozygous o2 kernels have increased levels of lysine and tryptophan. Unfortunately, the associated soft texture of the o2 kernels causes poor yield and susceptibility to diseases and insects. Breeding has resulted in the development of o2 genotypes with improved endosperm hardn...
