Marker-Assisted Selection to Pyramid the Opaque-2 (O2) and β-Carotene (crtRB1) Genes in Maize [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Maize is an excellent nutritional source and is consumed as a staple food in different parts of the world, including India. Developing a maize genotype with a combination of higher lysine and tryptophan, along with β-carotene, can help alleviate the ...

Generation and Evaluation of Modified Opaque-2 Popcorn Suggests a Route to Quality Protein Popcorn [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Introducing traits from dent corn to popcorn is challenging because it is difficult to recover adequate popping characteristics. QPM (Quality Protein Maize) is a dent corn variety carrying the opaque-2 (o2) mutation, specifying increased amounts of ...

Opaque-2 induced zein reduction and lysine increase suggest a route to quality protein sweet corn [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe zeins make up over 60 percent of the kernel total proteins in maize subspecies including sweet corn. However, zeins are devoid of the essential amino acid lysine rendering the protein content of sweet corn incomplete.

Combining three grain mutants for improved‐quality sweet corn
Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2020 Our goal was to improve sweet corn (Zea mays L.) by the novel approach of combining three grain mutants in one plant, shrunken‐2 (sh2sh2), purple (Pr1Pr1C1C1), and opaque‐2 (o2o2), for increased sugar, anthocyanin, and tryptophan content, respectively ...

Multiple molecular events underlie stochastic switching between 2 heritable cell states in fungi.
PLoS Biology, 2022 Eukaryotic transcriptional networks are often large and contain several levels of feedback regulation. Many of these networks have the ability to generate and maintain several distinct transcriptional states across multiple cell divisions and to switch ...

Increasing lysine content of waxy maize through introgression of opaque-2 and opaque-16 genes using molecular assisted and biochemical development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The low lysine content of waxy maize cannot meet the nutritional requirements of humans, livestock, or poultry. In the present study, the high-lysine genes o2 and o16 were backcrossed into wx lines using the maize high-lysine inbreds TAIXI19 (o2o2) and ...
