Expression profile of protein fractions in the developing kernel of normal, Opaque-2 and quality protein maize [PDF]

open access: yesScientific 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).

Some properties of starches of opaque-2, sugary-2 opaque-2, and waxy opaque-2 mutants of two broad-based synthetic cultivars of maize.

open access: yesJournal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 1982
Starches of the opaque-2, sugary-2, opaque-2, and waxy opaque-2 endosperm mutants of two broad-based synthetic cultivars (Temp HA and Temp HB) of maize adapted to the more temperate areas of the world are, in general, similar to the respective starches of inbred maize background with regard to amylose percentage and the distribution of linear alpha-D ...

Heterofertilization of the opaque-2 endosperm in maize [PDF]

open access: yesHereditas, 2008
Selection on endosperm traits among individual kernels is very important in maize because the characteristics of the kernel, especially the endosperm, are directly related to quality and yield. However the accuracy of the selection according to endosperm phenotype may be affected by heterofertilization. The objective of this work was to investigate the

Production and Selection of Quality Protein Popcorn Hybrids Using a Novel Ranking System and Combining Ability Estimates

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Popcorn varieties are agronomically sub-optimal and genetically limited compared to other maize subspecies. To increase genetic diversity and improve popcorn agronomics, dent germplasm has been introduced to popcorn with limited success and generally ...

Wor1‐regulated ferroxidases contribute to pigment formation in opaque cells of Candida albicans

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2021
Candida albicans is a harmless commensal resident in the human gut and a prevalent opportunistic pathogen. A key part of its commensalism and pathogenesis is its ability to switch between different morphological forms, including white‐to‐opaque switching.

Transparent masks reduce the negative impact of opaque masks on understanding emotional states but not on sharing them

open access: yesCognitive Research, 2022
While face masks provide necessary protection against disease spread, they occlude the lower face parts (chin, mouth, nose) and consequently impair the ability to accurately perceive facial emotions.

Measuring β-galactosidase activity in opaque dairy solutions under optimum conditions for galactooligosaccharide synthesis by isothermal titration calorimetry

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2023
: The dairy industry uses enzymes to make cheese, alter product flavor, and eliminate lactose. The activities of these enzymes have been measured in clear buffered solutions, but because of the limitations of spectrophotometric methods, enzyme activities
