Phenotypic recurrent selection to improve protein quality in non-opaque maize populations
Maize (Zea mays L.) protein is considered to be of low quality due to low levels of the essential lysine and tryptophan amino acids.An alternative to solve this problem is to bar bottle covers use the opaque-2 gene, which improves the level of these amino acids, but has negative pleiotropic effects on agronomic characters.A phenotypic recurrent sel
