Traditional maize protein is nutritionally poor due to low levels of lysine (0.150–0.250%) and
tryptophan (0.030–0.040%). The recessive opaque2 (o2) gene that enhances lysine (0.300 …

maize kernels. Despite> 6 decades of research, no functional marker for o2 has been …

Sweet corn has emerged as a favorite food item worldwide owing to its kernel sweetness.
However, traditional sweet corn cultivars are poor in provitamin-A (proA) and essential …

Traditional maize is poor in amylopectin (75%), lysine (0.200%), and tryptophan (0.045%).
While the recessive waxy1 (wx1) gene enhances amylopectin and the recessive opaque2 …

In the present study, forty eight sub-tropical maize inbreds were analyzed for grain yield and
yield attributing traits along with micronutrients content. Genotypic differences were …

Quality protein maize (QPM) combines the protein quality of the opaque-2 (o2) mutant with a
vitreous endosperm. These characteristics have allowed breeding programs worldwide to …
