Zeins, the major endosperm proteins in maize (Zea mays L.), are deficient in the essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan. Some mutant genes, like opaque-2 (o2) and floury-2 (fl2), reduce the levels of A- and B-zeins, thereby improving maize's nutritional value. Other mutants, such as amylose-ext
Sucrose synthetase activity in endosperm extracts of seven shrunken(sh) mutants of spontaneous origin and three similar mutants due to the association of the controlling element Ds with the Sh locus is examined. A residual level of 3 to 5% as compared to the normal (Sh) endosperm is seen in all the
