Expression Dynamics of <i>lpa1</i> Gene and Accumulation Pattern of Phytate in Maize Genotypes Possessing <i>opaque2</i> and <i>crtRB1</i> Genes at Different Stages of Kernel Development
Phytic acid (PA) acts as a storehouse for the majority of the mineral phosphorous (P) in maize; ~80% of the total P stored as phytate P is not available to monogastric animals and thereby causes eutrophication.
