The paper describes the sequence of breeding stages that led to the development of acceptable quality protein maize (QPM) germplasm at the Centro Internacional de Mejoramiento de Maiz y Trigo (CIMMYT). Initial emphasis was on the development of soft opaque-2 (o2) maize varieties, but these had...
In recent years, the use of quality protein maize (QPM) with the objective of improving the nutritional value of maize grain protein has been the focus of several African breeding programs. Knowledge of genetic variation among QPM and normal maize varieties is important for an efficient selection...
Additional bioinformatic analyses revealed that the maize genome encodes not only CCSD-type SUN-domain proteins but also a unique family of SUN-domain protein genes not previously described. Members of this second group of genes (ZmSUN3,ZmSUN4, andZmSUN5) encode slightly larger proteins with th...

Meg protein secondary structure has changed over the maize-specific gene family expansion.The secondary structures of Meg proteins were predicted using different algorithms on the Network sequence analysis server (NPS@, Network Protein Sequence Analysis,http://npsa-pbil.ibcp.fr). The α-helix, β-...
Nutritive Value of the Protein in High‐oil Selections in Maize1Plant Science and Plant Products, plants, botanyInbred lines were developed by continuous selfing and simultaneous selection for high protein and high oil content of the grain of corn (Zea mays L.). Grain of sixth generation ...
Cattle, oil, maize, pecans, oranges, and even a turkey, are here. Indoors, at the north end of the ground floor hallway, just above the door that leads out to the Speedway Mall, is an unusual yellow and black sign. It’s easy to miss, but 60 years ago, the campus was filled ...
Protein Preparation One gram of fresh maize ears were ground into fine power in liquid nitrogen. The grounded tissues were suspended in ice-cold acetone containing 10% (w/v) trichloroacetic acid for 16 h at −20 °C, then centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 15 min. The pellets...

the molecular mass varied from 58 kDa to 205 kDa and averaged 96 kDa (Table 1). For subcellular localization, each protein was predicted by multiple components and positions (Table 2); among these, six proteins were predicted to be located at the chloroplast, and five proteins were predicted...
