An association is reported between an albuminlike protein (b-70) and the semidominant locusfluory-2 (172) which reduces the level of zein polypeptides in the maize endosperm. The protein b-70 is present at low level in wildtype endosperms and derepressed infl2 endosperms. A correlation between the d
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
