The ND EarlyQPM program: developing the next generation of healthier maize (Zea mays L.) products

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

There is a need to develop the next generation of healthier crop products for an improved human and animal nutrition. Maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars with improved amino acid profiles are essential to diets focused on this crop. Breeders have added crop value with the development of quality protein maize (QPM). However, QPM cultivars have never been an option to farmer and ranchers in short-season environments. The...
