Breeding for colored quality protein popcorn with improved amino acid composition [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant SciencePopcorn is deficient in essential lysine due to the high abundance of lysine-devoid zein storage proteins in the endosperm. Opaque-2 (o2) mutants reduce zein accumulation, resulting in increased lysine-containing non-zein proteins.
