Metabolic Engineering to Increase the Corn Seed Storage Lipid Quantity and Change Its Compositional Quality

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Given limited global food supplies and the fact that the global population is expected to double by 2050, there is an urgent need for the development of high‐calorie foods, including culinary oils. The seeds of oil crops contain high‐energy density oil composed of triacylglycerides (TAGs) at up to 80% by dry mass. However, maize (Zea mays L.) seeds are relatively poor in calorie and nutritional values. Therefore,...
