Summary Starch is the most abundant storage carbohydrate in maize kernel. The content of amylose and amylopectin confers unique properties food processing industrial application. Thus, resurgent interest has been switched to study individual or rather than total starch, whereas enzymatic machinery for synthesis remains elusive. We took advantage phenotype genotype 9,007,194 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 464 inbred lines. genome‐wide association identified 27 associated loci involving...
Abstract Mutation of o2 doubles maize endosperm lysine content, but it causes an inferior kernel phenotype. Developing quality protein (QPM) by introgressing modifier s ( Mo2 s) into the mutant benefits millions people in developing countries where is a primary source. Here, we report genome sequence and annotation South African QPM line K0326Y, which assembled from single-molecule, real-time shotgun sequencing reads collinear with optical map. We achieve N50 contig length 7.7 million bases...
The organic acid oxalate occurs in microbes, animals, and plants; however, excessive accumulation vivo is toxic to cell growth decreases the nutritional quality of certain vegetables. However, enzymes functions required for degradation plants remain largely unknown. Here, we report cloning a maize (Zea mays) opaque endosperm mutant that encodes oxalyl-CoA decarboxylase1 (EC4.1.1.8; OCD1). Ocd1 generally expressed specifically induced by oxalate. ocd1 seeds contain significantly higher level...
Cell number is a critical factor that determines kernel size in maize (
Abstract Copy number variation (CNV) is a major source of genetic and often contributes to phenotypic in maize. The duplication at the 27-kDa γ-zein locus ( qγ27 ) essential convert soft endosperm into hard quality protein maize (QPM). This unstable generally produces CNV this locus. We conducted experiments designed directly measure DNA rearrangement frequencies occurring males females different backgrounds. average frequency with which rearranges single copies 1.27 × 10 −3 varies among...
