A study of kernel composition affecting the quality ofshrunken2 sweet corn
… in shrunken2 (sh2) sweet corn (Zea mays L.) kernels. In each experiment, the primary focus was on the levels of dimethyl sulfide (DMS), the compound responsible for the characteristic ""corny"" aroma, and sugars (i.e. fructose, glucose, sucrose and total sugar), which are the principal kernel …

Genetic, Genomic, and Breeding Approaches to Further Explore Kernel Composition Traits and Grain Yield in Maize
… understanding of the genetic control of maize kernel composition traits starch, protein, and oil concentration, and also kernel weight and grain yield. Germplasm with different genetic backgrounds and mating structures were investigated. Illinois Low Protein cycle 90 (ILP 90) was crossed and …

Genetic Analysis of Nitrogen Remobilization and Kernel Compositon in Zea Mays L. and Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench
… Analysis of Nitrogen Remobilization and Kernel Composition in Zea Mays L. and Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench. Major Professor: Mitchell Tuinstra. Modern maize (Zea mays L.) production relies heavily on nitrogen fertilization for high productivity. Over-application of nitrogen fertilizers in …

Genetic Analysis of Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Related Traits in the IBMRIL X IHP1 Population of Maize
… traits. The QTL for stover biomass at low N and kernel composition traits were shown to be the most environmentally stable. Candidate genes, including genes involved in cytokinin signaling and storage protein synthesis, among others, could be assigned to a portion of the QTL identified, …

Genetic analysis of grain protein concentration and related traits in the Illinois protein strain recombinant inbred population of maize
Maize kernels accumulate nitrogen supplied as amino acids by vegetative source tissues as the abundant zein proteins. However, zein protein is deficient in essential amino acids, and limited knowledge of zein regulation impedes approaches for achieving more nutritious Quality Protein Maize. We …
