Characterization of phi112, a Molecular Marker Tightly Linked to the <i>o2</i> Gene of Maize, and Its Utilization in Multiplex PCR for Differentiating Normal Maize from QPM

Characterization of phi112, a Molecular Marker Tightly Linked to the <i>o2</i> Gene of Maize, and Its Utilization in Multiplex PCR for Differentiating Normal Maize from QPM

Quality Protein Maize (QPM) contains higher amounts of essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan. The QPM phenotype is based on regulating zein protein synthesis by <i>opaque2</i> transcription factor. Many gene modifiers act to optimize the amino acid content and agronomic performance...
