Mapping QTLs for Popping Ability in a Popcorn × Dent Maize Genetic Cross
Journal of Emerging Investigators, 2015 Corn (maize, Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most economically important grain crops. When exposed to heat, its starch-filled kernels pop and cook into puffs. The high demand for popcorn has spurred research to discover traits that dictate its idiosyncratic popping abilities. The purpose of this investigation is to study favorable popping traits and

The relation between yielding and the popping volume of the popping maize hybrids (Zea mays L. everta) [PDF]
Selekcija i Semenarstvo, 2006 Beside the yield, as an economically important trait, the popping volume that breeders have been improving is equally important. At the same time, it is the main trait distinguishing popping maize from other types of maize.

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.
