## Abstract The protein quality of some improved protein quality maize varieties grown in Mexico was measured chemically (including amino acid analyses) and biologically, in Nβbalance experiments with growing rats. The protein content ranged from 10.61 to 12.84%. Lysine 100 g^β1^ protein varied bet
Experiments were conducted to determine the chromosomal location of the gene conditioning overproduction of a methionine-rich, 10-K zein in maize kernels of line BSSS53. In addition, the chromosomal location of the structural gene encoding the overproduced protein was determined. Whereas the structu
Sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals that zein prepared from normal maize inbred (Zea mays L.) contains six separable components. Z1 and Z2 are the predominant species, with molecular weights of 21,800 and 19,000 daltons. Amino acid analysis of these two components shows
