Quality protein maize (QPM): Importance, genetics, timeline of different events, breeding strategies and varietal adoption

2021-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Lysine and tryptophan are two essential amino acids and these are deficit in maize grain thus posing the problem of nutritional deficiencies in the consumers. A wide range of deficiency symptoms like cognitive disorder, kwashiorkor disease, reduced appetite, impaired skeleton development, delayed growth and aberrant behaviour are associated with lysine and tryptophan deficiency. These amino acids are also importan...
