Post-flowering environment determines zein composition and kernel hardness in maize

Maize (Zea mays L.) grain endosperm is composed by starch and proteins (mainly zeins, Z1 and Z2) and other minor components. The dry milling industry demands grains with high endosperm hardness, which is determined by both its chemical composition and by the structure established within its componen...
