Marker development for quality protein maize breeding and an interaction study between Opaque-2 and Ask2 genes

Quality Protein Maize (QPM) kernels contain twice the amounts of lysine and tryptophan compared to normal corn kernels. Although the opaque-2 (o2) mutation is the underlying cause of this beneficial change, other genes such as Aspartate kinase-2 (Ask2) affect the amino acid content in the endosperm...
