Functions of maize genes encoding pyruvate phosphate dikinase in developing endosperm Open
Significance Mutations affecting the transcription factor encoded by the gene o2 are important in maize agriculture because they result in improved grain nutritional quality. The mutations also cause detrimental effects by reducing kernel …

A Pectin Methylesterase ZmPme3 Is Expressed in Gametophyte factor1-s (Ga1-s) Silks and Maps to that Locus in Maize (Zea mays L.) Open
The ga1 locus of maize confers unilateral cross incompatibility, preventing cross pollination between females carrying the incompatible Ga1-s allele and males not carrying a corresponding compatible allele. To characterize this system at t…

Interaction of Genetic Mechanisms Regulating Methionine Concentration in Maize Grain Open
Methionine is a limiting amino acid in poultry diets, so methionine supplementation is typically required to meet nutritional demands. Maize ( Zea mays L.) varieties with increased methionine levels have been developed using three differen…
