Combining higher accumulation of amylopectin, lysine and tryptophan in maize hybrids through genomics-assisted stacking of waxy1 and opaque2 genes

Scientific Reports, 2022
Waxy maize rich in amylopectin has emerged as a preferred food. However, waxy maize is poor in lysine and tryptophan, deficiency of which cause severe health problems.

The Use of Waxy Starch and Guar Gum in Total Substitution of Vegetable Oil in Extruded Snack Aromatization

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2019
Vegetable oil is used by the extruded snacks industries to fixate aromas and salt in proportions between 10 and 20%. Consumers have restricted the consumption of these products due to the high content of lipids and low nutritional value.

Effects of Waxy Maize Starch and Malate-Debranched Waxy Maize Starch on Gut Microbiota of Humans In Vitro and Mice In Vivo

Microorganisms
The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in host health. Dietary components such as waxy maize starch (WMS) and malate-debranched WMS (MADBS) may serve as modulators of microbial composition and function. In this study, the effects of WMS and MADBS on murine gut microbiota in vivo and human fecal in vitro fermentation were investigated.

Balancing individual trade-offs for population gain: optimizing nitrogen and density secures fresh ear yield in rain-fed waxy maize

Frontiers in Plant Science
ContextFresh waxy maize is a unique type of maize harvested at the late R3 stage. Both fresh ear yield and weight per ear determine its economic value. Nitrogen (N) application and planting density are the two major agronomic practice factors influencing

Unraveling the interactive effect of opaque2 and waxy1 genes on kernel nutritional qualities and physical properties in maize (Zea mays L.)

Scientific Reports
The mutant waxy allele (wx1) is responsible for increased amylopectin in maize starch, with a wide range of food and industrial applications. The amino acid profile of waxy maize resembles normal maize, making it particularly deficient in lysine and ...

Nitrogen fertilizer application rate affects the dynamic metabolism of nitrogen and carbohydrates in kernels of waxy maize

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionNitrogen (N) plays a pivotal role in the growth, development, and yield of maize. An optimal N application rate is crucial for enhancing N and carbohydrate (C) accumulation in waxy maize grains, which in turn synergistically improves grain ...
