Carotenoids modulate kernel texture in maize by influencing amyloplast envelope integrity

Carotenoids modulate kernel texture in maize by influencing amyloplast envelope integrity

Very little is known about how vitreous endosperm in the mature maize kernel is created. Here, via map-based cloning, the authors find that mutation of a β-carotene hydroxylase 3 encoding gene Ven1 affects carotenoids and lipids composition, which consequently influences amyloplast envelope integrit...
