Uncovering the genetic architecture and metabolic basis of amino acid composition in maize kernels using multi-omics integration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
is one of the major staple crops used for food, feed, and fuel. A mature maize kernel contains small embryo (10% of the volume) and a large endosperm (~90% of its volume). In terms of composition, majority of the kernel proportion contains around 90...
Uncovering the genetic basis of seed amino acid composition in arabidopsis using a multi-omics integrative approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Seeds are a vital source of protein in the diet of humans and livestock. However, protein composition in the seed is low, comprising about 10 percent of the total composition in the seed. Additionally, protein quality in ...
