The effect of processing maize on gross energy, crude protein and carotene was determined by standard methods. The results show that traditional maize processing in Malawi decreases by one half the energy and protein content of the unprocessed grain. The quantity of carotene in white dry maize is...
Teosinte, the wild ancestor of maize, has three times the seed protein content of most modern maize strains. Plant breeders tend to prioritize starch yield as corn became a major source of livestock feed, making protein content and flavor a secondary concern. The researchers in the study carried...
Grain protein content (GPC) is an indicator of cereal nutritional quality. Identification of genes involved in the regulation of GPC provides targets for molecular breeding for crop protein quality. We characterized a maize gene encoding the putative amino acid transporter ZmAAP6, a gene expressed ...
Teosinte, the wild ancestor of maize (Zea mays subsp. mays), has three times the seed protein content of most modern inbreds and hybrids, but the mechanisms that are responsible for this trait are unknown1,2. Here we use trio binning to create a contiguous haplotype DNA sequence of a teo...
corn into today's corn. The researchers found that the seed protein content of wild maize was as high as 30% without nitrogen fertilizer, which was three times that of modern common cultivated maize, indicating that wild maize contained key genes to control high protein content. Over the past...
(VAM) fungi symbiosis with maize root and it effect on yield components, yield and protein content of maize in water deficit condition ABSTRACT: In order to study of effect of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi coexistence and water deficit on maize, a field experimental in split plot...
Fourteen maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines selected from five basic populations were crossed with 5 elite inbred lines from different heterotic groups, and the 70 combinations according to NC Ⅱ design were evaluated at three locations in 2005 and 2006. The protein content in kernels was analyzed...
Various attempts to improve the content of protein and essential amino acids such as lysine and threonine have been carried out. At the early stage, natural or artificial mutants were employed to improve lysine content through traditional breeding. For example, the high lysine maize mutant opaque22...
Milk protein content is dependent on both breed and stage of lactation, as well as nutrition. Breeds that produce milk with a high fat content also have higher protein concentrations, but the ratio of protein to fat is lower for Channel Island breeds compared with the Ayrshire, Holstein or Fr...
