Expression profile of protein fractions in the developing kernel of normal, Opaque-2 and quality protein maize [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Maize protein quality is determined by the composition of its endosperm proteins, which are classified as nutritionally poor zeins (prolamin and prolamin-like) and nutritionally rich non-zeins (albumin, globulin, glutelin-like, and glutelin).
