Abstract:

Quality protein maize (QPM) contains the opaque-2 gene along with numerous modifiers for kernel hardness. Therefore, QPM is maize with high nutritive value of endosperm protein, with substantially higher content of two essential amino acids - lysine and tryptophan, and with good agronomical performances. Although QPM was developed primarily for utilization in the regions where, because of poverty, maize is the main staple food, it has many advantages for production and consumption in other parts of the world, too. QPM can be used for production of conventional and new animal feed, as well as f

Abstract:

Zein proteins in maize seeds regulate food and feed quality and belong to several subfamilies. Most maize prolamin is α-zeins, which are rich in glutamine, leucine, and proline but lacking in critical amino acids (lysine and tryptophan). RNAi experiments show that 22kD zeins downregulate the quality protein maize (QPM) phenotype, not 19kD. The opaque-2 mutation caused a chalky, soft endosperm and many defects. QPM genotypes with opaque-2 alleles and firm kernels were improved. As opaque-2 is recessive and biochemical lysine and tryptophan analysis is costly, conventional backcrossing alone is

Malnutrition, as a result of deficiency in essential nutrients in cereal food products and consumption of a poorly balanced diet, is a major challenge facing millions of people in developing countries. However, developing maize inbred lines that are high yielding with enhanced nutritional traits for hybrid development remains a challenge. This study evaluated 40 inbred lines: 26 quality protein maize (QPM) lines, nine non-QPM lines, and five checks (three QPM lines and two non-QPM lines) in four optimum environments in Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Abstract:

Physical properties of quality protein maize (var. HQPM-1 and Vivek QPM) kernels were evaluated as a function of moisture content in the range of 15- 45 % (w.b.). Length, width, and thickness of HQPM increased linearly from 10.09 mm to 10.35 mm, 8.05 mm to 8.44 mm, and 4.45 mm to 4.93 mm, respectively. The increase in dimensions of Vivek QPM was from 9.93 mm to 10.51 mm, 8.11 mm to 8.53 mm, and 4.25 mm to 4.76 mm, respectively. Sphericity, surface area, and volume of both QPM varieties increased linearly with moisture content. True density decreased from 1210.81 kg.m-3 to 1193.0 kg.m-3 for HQP

Quality protein maize (QPM) has high contents of the essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan. The substitution of standard maize (SM) with QPM in feeds can be profitable due to improved livestock performance and decreased use of costly dietary lysine supplementation and protein ingredients. Herein, effects of QPM adapted to temperate climate on broiler performance were tested. A feeding experiment was performed on control (fed with SM) and treatment (fed with QPM) broilers. Each feeding trial of 42 days' duration was carried out in three phases-starter (1-14), grower (15-35) and finisher (

Development of early-maturing hybrid cultivars of Quality Protein Maize (QPM), a hard-endosperm high-lysine maize (Zea mays L.), could provide a balanced-protein alternative feed crop for northern temperate areas.

During alkaline cooking, HPC absorbed water faster than QPM and FGM. White QPM required shorter cooking time and had less dry matter losses compared to FGM.

In this dissertation, two important aspects regarding the development of QPM genotypes are addressed: the process of o2 endosperm modification and the accumulation of lysine in the endosperm. The formation of vitreous endosperm in o2 kernels is associated with the increased accumulation of the 27-kD γ-zein protein. When

The introduction of Quality Protein Maize (QPM), hard endosperm opaque-2 maize, into northern temperate maize growing areas is a desirable breeding objective. In topcrosses with opaque-2 testers, in diallel combination, as inbreds per se, and in inbred disease screening nurseries, some QPM lines performed better than or equal to the best local checks. In general, while agronomic potential is high for some lines and gains from selection are statistically possible, longer days to flowering intervals and higher levels of moisture at harvest than check hybrids indicated a need to improve adaptatio

Abstract:

Maize (Zea mays) is an important source of proteins for human and animal nutrition. However, because of the lack of lysine and the low content in methionine and tryptophan, maize’s proteins are of low quality. These deficiencies mainly result from the low levels of these essential amino acids in the zein storage proteins, which account for 50% of the total protein in mature seed. In this context, the first aim of this PhD thesis has been to develop artificial zein genes encoding for polypeptides with a higher content in lysine and methionine, and capable to be sorted and correctly accumulated

In the first experiment two separate diallels including 7 white and 9 yellow QPM inbreds were evaluated in five southern USA environments to estimate the general (GCA) and specific combining abilities (SCA) for grain yield and to identify potential heterotic relationships among them.

Quality protein maize (QPM) has enhanced levels of two essential amino acids, lysine and tryptophan compared to normal maize. This makes QPM an important cereal crop in communities where maize is a staple crop. The main abiotic factor to QPM production is drought stress. Little information is available on the effect of drought stress on QPM. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to: (i) conduct diversity analysis of QPM inbred lines using morpho-agronomic and simple sequence repeat markers, (ii) screen available QPM inbred lines and F1 progeny for tolerance to seedling drought stress, (
